[ Upstream commit 8fcc4ae6faf8b455eeef00bc9ae70744e3b0f462 ] APEI is unable to do all of its error handling work in nmi-context, so it defers non-fatal work onto the irq_work queue. arch_irq_work_raise() sends an IPI to the calling cpu, but this is not guaranteed to be taken before returning to user-space. Unless the exception interrupted a context with irqs-masked, irq_work_run() can run immediately. Otherwise return -EINPROGRESS to indicate ghes_notify_sea() found some work to do, but it hasn't finished yet. With this apei_claim_sea() returning '0' means this external-abort was also notification of a firmware-first RAS error, and that APEI has processed the CPER records.

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.
