I suspect the cause of the system hangs after a panic that are keeping crash dumps from working is one of the shutdown_pre_sync handlers getting wedged. The most likely culprit is syncer_shutdown(), but I think any of the handlers could get wedged in kthread_suspend(). Either we should skip shutdown_pre_sync entirely if RB_NOSYNC is set, or the handlers should obey this bit as appropriate. The latter would require a little more code to be touched, but would allow for more flexibility.Received on Tue Aug 17 2004 - 02:43:29 UTC
