[RFC PATCH 0/4] watchdog: hpwdt: Fix NMI-related behaviour when CONFIG_HPWDT_NMI_DECODING is enabled

[Ivan Mironov]

Hi,

I found out that hpwdt alters NMI behaviour unexpectedly if compiled
with enabled CONFIG_HPWDT_NMI_DECODING:

 * System starts to panic on any NMI with misleading message.
 * Watchdog provided by hpwdt is not working after such panic.

Here are the patches that should fix this.

This is an RFC patch series because I am not sure that patches are
correct. Questions:

 * Are "mynmi" flags always set on all supported iLO versions when iLO
   is the source of NMI?
 * Is it safe to reset "mynmi" flags to zero if code decides to not panic?

Ivan Mironov (4):
  watchdog: hpwdt: Don't disable watchdog on NMI
  watchdog: hpwdt: Don't panic on foreign NMI
  watchdog: hpwdt: Add more information into message
  watchdog: hpwdt: Make panic behaviour configurable
