Subject: [PATCH] stack overflow safe kdump: safe smp_send_nmi_allbutself()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bc03613decef0cc4d2f3a24f19fa5a868745715f;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] stack overflow safe kdump: safe smp_send_nmi_allbutself()

Re-implement smp_send_nmi_allbutself() so that calls to smp_processor_id
(through send_IPI_allbutself) can be replaced with safe_smp_processor_id
without affecting other parts of the kernel (as suggested by Eric Biederman).
