The quilt patch titled Subject: watchdog/buddy: cleanup how watchdog_buddy_check_hardlockup() is called has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was watchdog-buddy-cleanup-how-watchdog_buddy_check_hardlockup-is-called.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: watchdog/buddy: cleanup how watchdog_buddy_check_hardlockup() is called Date: Fri, 26 May 2023 18:41:36 -0700 In the patch ("watchdog/hardlockup: detect hard lockups using secondary (buddy) CPUs"), we added a call from the common watchdog.c file into the buddy. That call could be done more cleanly. Specifically: 1. If we move the call into watchdog_hardlockup_kick() then it keeps watchdog_timer_fn() simpler. 2. We don't need to pass an "unsigned long" to the buddy for the timer count. In the patch ("watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to watchdog_hardlockup_check()") the count was changed to "atomic_t" which is backed by an int, so we should match types.
