+Subject: x86/pti/efi: broken conversion from efi to kernel page table
+To: steven.sistare@oracle.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, tglx@linutronix.de, mingo@redhat.com, hpa@zytor.com, x86@kernel.org, gregkh@linuxfoundation.org, jkosina@suse.cz, hughd@google.com, dave.hansen@linux.intel.com, luto@kernel.org, stable@vger.kernel.org
+Message-ID: <20180115164414.19778-1-pasha.tatashin@oracle.com>
+
+From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com>
+
+The page table order must be increased for EFI table in order to avoid a
+bug where NMI tries to change the page table to kernel page table, while
+efi page table is active.
+
+For more disccussion about this bug, see this thread:
+http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1801.1/00951.html
