[PATCH 6/7] Documentation: Document kernel.panic_on_io_nmi sysctl

Show all headers | View raw

From: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com>

kernel.panic_on_io_nmi sysctl was introduced by commit

  5211a242d0cb ("x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI error")

but its documentation is missing. So, add it.

+panic_on_io_nmi:
+
+Controls the kernel's behavior when a CPU receives an NMI caused by
+an IO error.
+
+0: try to continue operation (default)
+
+1: panic immediately. The IO error triggered an NMI. This indicates a
+   serious system condition which could result in IO data corruption.
+   Rather than continuing, panicking might be a better choice. Some
+   servers issue this sort of NMI when the dump button is pushed,
+   and you can use this option to take a crash dump.
