Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt between commit 7984754b99b6 ("kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_load") from Linus' tree and commit 270750dbc18a ("hung_task: Display every hung task warning") from the tip tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action is required). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx diff --cc Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt index ee9a2f983b99,4205f3c05cbe..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt +++ b/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt @@@ -33,7 -33,10 +33,11 @@@ show up in /proc/sys/kernel - domainname - hostname - hotplug + - hung_task_panic + - hung_task_check_count + - hung_task_timeout_secs + - hung_task_warnings +- kexec_load_disabled - kptr_restrict - kstack_depth_to_print [ X86 only ] - l2cr [ PPC only ] @@@ -288,18 -291,44 +292,56 @@@ Default value is "/sbin/hotplug" ============================================================== + hung_task_panic: + + Controls the kernel's behavior when a hung task is detected. + This file shows up if CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK is enabled. + + 0: continue operation.
