[PATCH v8 1/2] x86/kexec: add a new atomic notifier list for kdump

Zhang Yanfei
2012-11-22T08:25:46Z

This patch adds an atomic notifier list named crash_notifier_list.
Currently, when loading kvm-intel module, a notifier will be registered
in the list to enable vmcss loaded on all cpus to be VMCLEAR'd if
needed.
