From 5d1c0f4a80a6df73395fb3fc2c302510f8f09d36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric B Munson Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 14:37:28 -0500 Subject: watchdog: add check for suspended vm in softlockup detector A suspended VM can cause spurious soft lockup warnings. To avoid these, the watchdog now checks if the kernel knows it was stopped by the host and skips the warning if so. When the watchdog is reset successfully, clear the guest paused flag.
