Subject: [PATCH 1/1] watchdog: avoid extra sys_info dumps for all_bt
Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 22:01:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260620220140.15479-1-include@grrlz.net> (raw)
The watchdog handles SYS_INFO_ALL_BT itself. When that is the only
watchdog specific bit, sys_info(0) falls back to kernel_sys_info.
Skip sys_info() for that case.
Fixes: a9af76a78760 ("watchdog: add sys_info sysctls to dump sys info on system lockup")
