The patch titled
Subject: kernel/panic: call the 2nd crash_kexec() only if crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kernel-panic-call-the-2nd-crash_kexec-only-if-crash_kexec_post_notifiers-is-enabled.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel/panic: call the 2nd crash_kexec() only if crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled
For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153f4ae2e
("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after
panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.
Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not
loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the
point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd
crash_kexec() does nothing.
