Watchdog CPU:19 Hard LOCKUP when kernel crash was triggered

The bug description says that the 1st patch is in bionic (18.04.1) but I was not able to find that commit in bionic (master and master-next). The two patches are in 4.17 and 4.18 stable trees.

-- linux-4.17.y --
ab830707c443 powerpc: smp_send_stop do not offline stopped CPUs

-- linux-4.18.y --
c0beffc4f4c6 powerpc/powernv: Fix opal_event_shutdown() called with interrupts disabled

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kamal/lp1790636-lp1790602-ppc/

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

Note about installing test kernels:
* If the test kernel is prior to 4.15(Bionic) you need to install the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.
* If the test kernel is 4.15(Bionic) or newer, you need to install the linux-modules, linux-modules-extra and linux-image-unsigned .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

Manoj - you are correct, neither is in, and having both in would be very helpful. I confused that with a different commit.

This bug is difficult to recreate - I don't have a number for about how often it happens. I ran through about 10 cycles (sysrq c) and I haven't been able to recreate it on the test kernel.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I tried the -proposed kernel and it looks good - no regressions and after another 10 runs no recreates of the problem. Thank you.
