https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203166 Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |delphij@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> --- Please make this one optional via a loader tunable or compile time setting (I have no strong option with the default and if it helps people, let's enable it by default). The problem with doing resets unconditionally in kernel is that if e.g. the user is using nextboot(8) and the kernel stuck at a later time, there is nothing that resets the system to recover it to a previously known good state, and that would defeat a good fraction of legitimate usage of watchdogs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
