Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] panic: use panic_try_start() in nmi_panic()
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 13:39:10 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110183723.3255298-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107052209-failed-6.12-75eb687ff2bc@kernel.org>
From: Jinchao Wang <wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 6b69c7ef96f1afc7b426195087f7488f1510c2a4 ]
nmi_panic() duplicated the logic to claim panic_cpu with
atomic_try_cmpxchg. This is already wrapped in panic_try_start().
Replace the open-coded logic with panic_try_start(), and use
panic_on_other_cpu() for the fallback path.
This removes duplication and keeps panic handling code consistent.
