Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 15:58:45 -0700 Message-Id: <20180206225855.30582-1-jerry.hoemann@hpe.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.13.6 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The primary purposes of this patch set are to 1) Update the hpwdt driver to use the watchdog core. 2) Reduce complexity by removing unnecessary features. 3) Add customer requested features like optional pretimeout. 4) Enhance readability/maintainability of the driver. The size of the resultant driver is reduced from over 900 lines to 350 lines. Patch 1& 2 remove legacy NMI sourcing. Patch 3 adds useful indication of NMI cause to panic message Patch 4 & 5 are general cleanup Patch 6 & 7 updates the driver to user the watchdog core. Patch 8 makes the pretimeout NMI programmable. Patch 9 modifies whether the NMI handler claims the NMI. Patch 10 retracts the allow_kdump module parameter.
