[PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/48] rcu: disable CPU stall warnings upon panic

Previous message: [thread] [date] [author]

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2010 - 1:19 pm

The current RCU CPU stall warnings remain enabled even after a panic
occurs, which some people have found to be a bit counterproductive.
This patch therefore uses a notifier to disable stall warnings once a
panic occurs.
