The patch titled Subject: reboot: indicate whether it is a HARDWARE PROTECTION reboot or shutdown has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is reboot-indicate-whether-it-is-a-hardware-protection-reboot-or-shutdown.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/reboot-indicate-whether-it-is-a-hardware-protection-reboot-or-shutdown.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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 via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: reboot: indicate whether it is a HARDWARE PROTECTION reboot or shutdown Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2025 21:39:46 +0100 It currently depends on the caller, whether we attempt a hardware protection shutdown (poweroff) or a reboot. A follow-up commit will make this partially user-configurable, so it's a good idea to have the emergency message clearly state whether the kernel is going for a reboot or a shutdown.
