From a6572f84c5b135d9b6df279ed3c8de028bd1edd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 10:31:04 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: Disallow setting watchdog_thresh to -1 In old kernels, it's allowed to set softlockup_thresh to -1 or 0 to disable softlockup detection. However watchdog_thresh only uses 0 to disable detection, and setting it to -1 just froze my box and nothing I can do but reboot.
