I apologize for the inconvenience. The following links redirect to marc.info:

- [PATCH 0/4] watchdog: avoid races in watchdog_nmi_{en|disable} functions
  lkml.kernel.org/r/1438433365-2979-1-git-send-email-uobergfe@...hat.com

- [PATCH 1/4] watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()
  lkml.kernel.org/r/1438433365-2979-2-git-send-email-uobergfe@...hat.com

- [PATCH 2/4] watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume()
  lkml.kernel.org/r/1438433365-2979-3-git-send-email-uobergfe@...hat.com

  This part of the series has already received a comment. The suggestion is
  to introduce different function names to avoid confusion with the watchdog
  subsystem, so I propose

    lockup_detector_suspend() instead of watchdog_suspend()
    lockup_detector_resume()  instead of watchdog_resume()

  which would be consistent with the existing name lockup_detector_init().

- [PATCH 3/4] watchdog: use park/unpark functions in update_watchdog_all_cpus()
  lkml.kernel.org/r/1438433365-2979-4-git-send-email-uobergfe@...hat.com

- [PATCH 4/4] watchdog: use suspend/resume interface in fixup_ht_bug()
  lkml.kernel.org/r/1438433365-2979-5-git-send-email-uobergfe@...hat.com

Uli
