The patch titled Subject: kernel/hung_task.c: force console verbose before panic has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-hung_taskc-force-console-verbose-before-panic.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Liu, Chuansheng" <chuansheng.liu@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/hung_task.c: force console verbose before panic Based on 401c636a0eeb ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic"), we could get the call stack of hung task. However, if the console loglevel is not high, we still can not see the useful panic information in practice, and in most cases users don't set console loglevel to high level. This patch is to force console verbose before system panic, so that the real useful information can be seen in the console, instead of being like the following, which doesn't have hung task information.
