Subject: [V6 PATCH 6/6] Documentation: Add documentation for kernel.panic_on_io_nmi sysctl
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:46:37 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151210014637.25437.71903.stgit@softrs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151210014624.25437.50028.stgit@softrs>

kernel.panic_on_io_nmi sysctl was introduced by commit 5211a242d0cb
("x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI error"), but its
documentation is missing. So, add it.

V6:
- Newly added
