This patchset makes it possible to use kdb's ftdump command without panicing, crashing or livelocking. The ftdump command cannot be used at all without these changes.
IIRC this patches are still pending Jason's ack.
I haven't heard from Jason in a long time. Is he still active?
[sorry for the delay, I wanted to give Jason a chance to answer this]
Very occasionally.
I can't find anything on lkml in the last three months, and I have unreviewed kdb patches that stretch back well beyond that.
That said he still helps people on kgdb-bugreport@ from time-to-time (and as recently as last week). I've also had a little bit of private contact although nothing very recent.
On that basis I'd say you shouldn't feel guilty if you have to accept a change here without an ack.
Daniel.
