[RFC][PATCH] Add missing notifier before crashing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

The panic notifier(i.e. panic_notifier_list) does not be called
if kdump is activated because crash_kexec() does not return.
And there is nothing to notify of crash before crashing by SysRq-c.

Although notify_die() exists, the function depends on architecture.
If notify_die() is added in panic and SysRq respectively like existing
implementation, the code will be ugly.
I think that adding a generic hook in crash_kexec() is better to simplify
the code. The panic_notifier_list-user will have nothing to do.
If you want to catch SysRq, use the crash_notifier_list.

The attached patch is against 2.6.17-rc5. I tested on i386-box.

Thanks,

Akiyama, Nobuyuki
