Subject: [patch] add kdump_after_notifier
Hi,
In latest kernel, we can't use panic_notifier_list if kdump is enabled.
panic_notifier_list is very useful function for debug, failover, etc...
So this patch adds a control file /proc/sys/kernel/dump_after_notifier
and resolves a problem users can not use both kdump and panic_notifier_list
at the same time.
kdump_after_notifier = 0
-> panic()
-> crash_kexec(NULL)
kdump_after_notifier = 1
-> panic()
-> atomic_notifier_call_chain(&panic_notifier_list, 0, buf);
-> crash_kexec(NULL)
