@@ -156,7 +156,8 @@ void mce_log(struct mce *mce)
 	/* Emit the trace record: */
 	trace_mce_record(mce);
 
-	atomic_notifier_call_chain(&x86_mce_decoder_chain, 0, mce);
+	mce_genpool_add(mce);
+	irq_work_queue(&mce_irq_work);

Is it safe to call irq_work_queue() from MCE context?  If that is OK, then
I don't have any concerns.
