The patch looks good to me. I would just suggest two changes. 1. I would rename the list to "panic_loop_list" instead of "panic_post_reboot_list". It will be more clear that it includes things that are needed before panic() enters the infinite loop. 2. I would move all the notifiers that enable blinking here. The blinking should be done only during the infinite loop when there is nothing else to do. If we enable earlier then it might disturb/break more important functionality (dumping information, reboot). Best Regards, Petr
