The patch makes sense. You don't need to poll every jiffie to find out if system has panic. But I agree with Linus, it is the kind of patch that doesn't belong in the mainline kernel. Every developer seems to have built up a set of crappy/fragile debug tools, but these don't belong in the wild.
Stephen, The drivers blinks LEDs when kernel operates normally. During panic the panic_blink() routine in i8042 gets called directly, without involving the blink driver. -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
