From 256dd96e310a1e33ac0e117f1fd390869c6e7260 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:45:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] netconsole: switch init_netconsole() to late_initcall Commit 88491d8(drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup) causes a regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network device driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked before network device driver. Andrew Morton suggested to fix this with initcall ordering. Fixes it by switching init_netconsole() to late_initcall. Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
