From c7f42c63901b964833eb23a9bda873b799e7f308 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Yves Faye Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 11:39:19 +0200 Subject: ipmi watchdog : add panic_wdt_timeout parameter In order to allow panic actions to be processed, the ipmi watchdog driver sets a new timeout value on panic. The 255s timeout was designed to allow kdump and others actions on panic, as in http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0711.3/0258.html This is counter-intuitive for a end-user who sets watchdog timeout value to something like 30s and who expects BMC to reset the system within 30s of a panic. This commit allows user to configure the timeout on panic.
