Currently, if mce_end() fails, no_way_out - the variable denoting whether the machine can recover from this MCE - is determined by whether the worst severity that was found across the MCA banks associated with the current CPU, is of panic severity. However, at this point no_way_out could have been already set by mca_start() after looking at all severities of all CPUs that entered the MCE handler. If mce_end() fails, check first if no_way_out is already set and, if so, stick to it, otherwise use the local worst value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
