Subject: [PATCH 01/10] watchdog/hardlockup: Keep kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl as 0444 if probe fails
Date: Fri, 26 May 2023 18:41:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230526184139.1.I0d75971cc52a7283f495aac0bd5c3041aadc734e@changeid> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230527014153.2793931-1-dianders@chromium.org>

The permissions for the kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl have always been
set at compile time despite the fact that a watchdog can fail to
probe. Let's fix this and set the permissions based on whether the
hardlockup detector actually probed.

Fixes: a994a3147e4c ("watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time detection of perf")
Reported-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZHCn4hNxFpY5-9Ki@alley
