Hello Eric, Vivek,

Do you have any comment to this patch?

The commit f06e5153f4ae2e2f3b0300f0e260e40cb7fefd45 introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles
wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before or after panic_notifiers
and dump kmsg.

The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot
option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without
going through panic() in oops path.

To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash().
