Watchdog is not turned off in kernel panic situation. In certain systems this might prevent the successful loading of kdump kernel. The kdump kernel might hit a watchdog reset while it is booting. To avoid such scenarios add a panic notifier call back function which can stop the watchdog. This provision can be enabled on per driver basis if the user wishes to by setting the flag WDOG_STOP_ON_PANIC from respective drivers.
I think this makes sense in principal, but it should not be driver specific. Guenter
