From 7e96287ddc4f42081e18248b6167041c0908004c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kdump: introduce "reset_devices" command line option Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices). This option can be used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset during initialization. This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.
