failure. 2/3
- Stop active watchdogs in crash hanlder. 3/3 Ritesh
- Add suggested-by tag 1/3 & 3/3
Reviewed the changes and mostly looks good with some minor nits added to
the individual patches.
Small request -
Could you please also update test results with v3 in your changelog
(since you mentioned we are able to reproduce the issue easily with your
test code).
I tested this fix with the program I shared in cover letter. The watchdog
was successfully stopped even when H_WATCHDOG is called form crash
handler. I will share my test details in v3 cover letter also.
aah one other thing I just noticed since you are ccing stable and you
added a Fixes tag in patch-3.
Patch-3 alone cannot be easily backported now due to patch-1 and
patch-2. There must be a way to define the dependencies if you are
looking for backporting the fix patch to stable tree, please check that
and follow that accordingly in v3.
I thought about that as well, but since they are part of the same patch
series,
I assumed they would be picked together. However, I don't think that
will work
in all cases.
I checked the older commits and noticed that a backport note was added.
I think
we can do the same for the fix patch. I'll add a note indicating that the
following patches should be backported first:
powerpc/pseries: Move H_WATCHDOG definitions to a common header
powerpc/pseries: Handle and log pseries-wdt registration failures
Since these patches are not upstream yet, I'll refer to them by their
commit titles.
Does that look good to you?
