If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Toshi Kani commit 308b135e4fcc00c80c07e0e04e7afa8edf78583c upstream. kdump can be interrupted by watchdog timer when the timer is left activated on the crash kernel. Changed the hpwdt driver to disable watchdog timer at boot-time. This assures that watchdog timer is disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened, and prevents watchdog timer to be left running on the crash kernel.
