If a machine check interrupt hits while user process is running __s390_handle_mcck() helper function is called directly from the interrupt handler and terminates the current process by calling make_task_dead() routine. The make_task_dead() is not allowed to be called from interrupt context which forces the machine check handler switch to the kernel stack and enable local interrupts first. The __s390_handle_mcck() could also be called to service pending work, but this time from the external interrupts handler. It is the machine check handler that establishes the work and schedules the external interrupt, therefore the machine check interrupt itself should be disabled while reading out the corresponding variable: local_mcck_disable(); mcck = *this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_mcck); memset(this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_mcck), 0, sizeof(mcck)); local_mcck_enable(); However, local_mcck_disable() does not have effect when __s390_handle_mcck() is called directly form the machine check handler, since the machine check interrupt is still disabled. Therefore, it is not the opening bracket to the following local_mcck_enable() function. Simplify the user process termination flow by scheduling the external interrupt and killing the affected process from the interrupt context. Assume a kernel-generated signal is always delivered and ignore a value returned by do_send_sig_info() funciton.

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.
