The patch titled Subject: panic/reboot: allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is panic-reboot-allow-specifying-reboot_mode-for-panic-only.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/panic-reboot-allow-specifying-reboot_mode-for-panic-only.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/panic-reboot-allow-specifying-reboot_mode-for-panic-only.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: panic/reboot: allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only Allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only. This is needed on systems where ramoops is used to store panic logs, and user wants to use warm reset to preserve those, while still having cold reset on normal reboots.
