From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit 7939831eacd81fccbd7a956b30c7bb3abb9079db upstream. We've observed the missing pvpanic call at panic, and it turned out that this was blocked by the broken notifier of drm_fb_helper, where scheduling may be called during switching to the fb console. It's fairly difficult to fix the drm_fb problem and a quick fix isn't foreseen, a simpler solution for the missing pvpanic call would be just to call this earlier. In order to assure that, this patch sets a higher priority to pvpanic notifier_block. Once when the issue of drm_fb is resolved, we can remove this priority again.
