From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2018 21:08:49 +1000 Subject: powerpc/rfi-flush: Move the logic to avoid a redo into the debugfs code To: gregkh@linuxfoundation.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Message-ID: [ref] From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> commit 1e2a9fc7496955faacbbed49461d611b704a7505 upstream. rfi_flush_enable() includes a check to see if we're already enabled (or disabled), and in that case does nothing. But that means calling setup_rfi_flush() a 2nd time doesn't actually work, which is a bit confusing. Move that check into the debugfs code, where it really belongs.
