It feels like comparing apples with oranges here. IMHO, the proper way to unify the two notifiers is a check of the @self parameter. Something like: static int trace_die_panic_handler(struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long ev, void *unused) { if (self == trace_die_notifier && val != DIE_OOPS) goto out; ftrace_dump(ftrace_dump_on_oops); out: return NOTIFY_DONE; } Best Regards, Petr

Currently the tracing dump_on_oops feature is implemented through separate notifiers, one for die/oops and the other for panic. With the addition of panic notifier "id", this patch makes use of such "id" to unify both functions. It also comments the function and changes the priority of the notifier blocks, in order they run early compared to other notifiers, to prevent useless trace data (like the callback names for the other notifiers). Finally, we also removed an unnecessary header inclusion. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.
