Subject: [PATCH] hung task: NMI when hung and going to panic
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:47:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331848040-1676-1-git-send-email-levinsasha928@gmail.com> (raw)

NMI all CPUs when detected a hung task and the hung task code is configured
to panic.

This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier trying to
debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything since the next step is
a kernel panic.
