      [WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Fix kdump when using hpwdt · 290172e7
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      When the "hpwdt" module is loaded (even if the /dev/watchdog device is not
      opened), then kdump does not work. The panic kernel either does not start at
      all or crash in various places.
      
      The problem is that hpwdt_pretimeout is registered with register_die_notifier()
      with the highest possible priority. Because it returns NOTIFY_STOP, the
      crash_nmi_callback which is also registered with register_die_notifier()
      is never executed. This causes the shutdown of other CPUs to fail.
      
      Reverting the order is no option: The crash_nmi_callback executes HLT
      and so never returns normally. Because of that, it must be executed as
      last notifier, which currently is done.
      
      So, that patch returns NOTIFY_OK to keep the crash_nmi_callback executed.
