Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] misc/pvpanic: notify the host on the pre kdump list
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:22:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711002253.1115-4-include@grrlz.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260711002253.1115-1-include@grrlz.net>

Writing the panic event to the pvpanic device is a self contained
upcall, and pvpanic_send_event() already takes pvpanic_lock with a
trylock, so the callback satisfies the contract as is.

The INT_MAX priority is kept so the host hears about the panic
before anything else on the list runs.
