From aaf2c2fb0f51f91c699039440862b6ae9c25c10e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Baicar Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 10:53:41 -0600 Subject: ACPI / APEI: clear error status before acknowledging the error Currently we acknowledge errors before clearing the error status. This could cause a new error to be populated by firmware in-between the error acknowledgment and the error status clearing which would cause the second error's status to be cleared without being handled. So, clear the error status before acknowledging the errors. Also, make sure to acknowledge the error if the error status read fails.
