Dave Young suggested to me to explain the problem in more detail, so here is the revised commit description. The patch is now in -mm, so I copied Cc list from -mm version. Also I added Corey Minyard's Tested-by and Reviewed-by. From: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mips/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path This patch fixes the problems reported by Daniel Walker (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44). When kernel panics with crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel parameter enabled, other CPUs are stopped by smp_send_stop() instead of machine_crash_shutdown() in __crash_kexec() path. panic() if crash_kexec_post_notifiers == 1 smp_send_stop() atomic_notifier_call_chain() kmsg_dump() __crash_kexec() machine_crash_shutdown() octeon_generic_shutdown() // shutdown watchdog for ONLINE CPUs Different from smp_send_stop(), machine_crash_shutdown() stops other CPUs with extra works for kdump. So, if smp_send_stop() stops other CPUs in advance, these extra works won't be done. As the result, kdump routines miss to save other CPUs' registers. Additionally for MIPS OCTEON, it misses to stop the watchdog timer. To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function, crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture codes should override it so that kdump can work appropriately. This patch provides MIPS version.
