Subject: [Regression, post-3.5][PATCH] Revert "NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume"
Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2012 22:22:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201208042222.22413.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)


Revert commit 45226e9 (NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage
on resume) which breaks resume from system suspend on my SH7372
Mackerel board (by causing a NULL pointer dereference to happen) and
is generally wrong, because it abuses CPU hotplug notifications in a
shamelessly blatant way.

The original issue should be addressed through appropriate syscore
resume callback instead.
