Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kdump: Fix timeout in crash_kexec_wait_realmode
Date: Tue, 05 Jul 2011 16:40:10 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <29259.1309848010@neuling.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110705161202.62dc7d24@kryten>
The existing code it pretty ugly. How about we clean it up even more
like this?
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.
