Subject: [PATCH v2 00/13] The panic notifiers refactor strikes back - fixes/clean-ups
Date:   Tue, 19 Jul 2022 16:53:13 -0300

Hi folks, this the second iteration of the panic notifiers refactor work,
but limited to the fixes/clean-ups in the first moment. The (full) V1 is
available at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220427224924.592546-1-gpiccoli@igalia.com/

The idea of splitting the series is that, originally we had a bunch of fixes
followed by the notifiers refactor, but this second part (the effective
refactor) is a bit "polemic", with reviews having antagonistic goals and some
complexities  - it might be hard to achieve consensus.
For the curious, here is a good summary of the conflicting views and some
strategies we might take in the refactor V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0d084eed-4781-c815-29c7-ac62c498e216@igalia.com/

So splitting and sending only the simple fixes/clean-ups in a first moment
makes sense, this way we don't prevent them to be discussed/merged/reworked
while the more complex part is subject to scrutiny in a different (future)
email thread.


I've tried to test this series building for all affected architecture/drivers
and also through some boot/runtime tests; below the test "matrix" used:

Build tests (using cross-compilers): alpha, arm, arm64, parisc, um, x86_64.
Boot/Runtime tests: x86_64 (Hyper-V and QEMU guests).

Here is the link with the .config files used:
https://people.igalia.com/gpiccoli/panic_notifiers_configs/5.19-rc7/
(tried my best to build all the affected code).


The series is based on 5.19-rc7; I'd like to ask that, if possible, maintainers
take the patches here in their trees, since there is no need to merge the series
as whole, patches are independent from each other.

Regarding the CC strategy, I've tried to reduce a bit the list of CCed emails,
given that it was huge in the first iteration. Hopefully I didn't forget
anybody interested in the topic (my apologies if so).

As usual, reviews / comments are always welcome, thanks in advance for them!
Cheers,


Guilherme
