Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] powerpc: watchdog fixes
Date: Fri,  5 Nov 2021 02:10:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211104161057.1255659-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)

These are some watchdog fixes and improvements.

This has taken a while to post out because upstream printk code seems
to have a problem with indefinitely delaying NMI context printk while
the CPU remains stuck, so that confounded testing a bit. That might
require another watchdog change after I discuss the issue with upstream
printk maintainers.

Since v1:
- Fixes noticed by Laurent in v1.
- Correct the description of the ABBA deadlock I wrote incorrectly in
  v1.
- Made several other improvements (patches 2,4,5).

Thanks,
Nick
