Re: [PATCH 1/1] pci: fix dmar fault for kdump kernel

From: Li, ZhenHua
Date: Wed Oct 15 2014 - 04:31:49 EST


I still think resetting the devices is necessary. Reading your original
mails , I think reason 2 you mentioned, resetting the devices in the
first kernel, may be a good solution.

Well, I am now working on Bill's patch that you mentioned. As it is not
accepted yet, I will create a new version for latest stable kernel 3.17.

Thanks
Zhenhua
