[PATCH 3/3] hpwdt: Use nmi_panic() when kernel panics in NMI handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even
if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents
concurrent/recursive execution of panic().  It also saves registers
for the crash dump on x86.

hpwdt driver can call panic() from NMI handler, so replace it with
nmi_panic().
