| |
Both graphics and serial consoles are exposed to hard lockups when handling a large amount of messaging. The kernel watchdog_thresh parameter up to now has not been available to be set on the kernel line for early boot. This patch allows the setting of watchdog_thresh to be increased when needed to avoid the hard lockups in the console code.
