| Linus,
|
| John Levon suggested I send this to you. It's a cleanup of the NMI
| handling to make it into a request/release mechanism (instead of
| hard-coding everything into traps.c). It renames "nmi.c" to
| "nmi_watchdog.c" (as it should be named) and moves the real NMI handling
| code from traps.c to nmi.c. It's been posted and reworked on lkml, and
| it seems to have finally met approval. The "cc-ed" people have reviewed
| the patch (or at least made helpful suggestions :-).
|
| Since a lot of things are hacking into this code (lkcd, kdb, oprofile,
| nmi watchdog, and now my IPMI watchdog pretimeout), it would be very
| nice to get their junk out of this code and allow them to bind in
| nicely, and allow binding from modules.
Switching topics:
Where is the watchdog pretimeout interface ("API") defined?
Has there been any discussion of it?
| (And this time it's a -p1 diff)
Looks like a -p0 diff to me.
