From df164db5fd16888ddbe2a63a47b2f6dda9a428b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Nyberg Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 00:09:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] avoid resursive oopses Prevent recursive faults in do_exit() by leaving the task alone and wait for reboot. This may allow a more graceful shutdown and possibly save the original oops.
