[patch 31/41] panic: unset panic_on_warn inside panic()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: panic: unset panic_on_warn inside panic()

In the current code, the following three places need to unset
panic_on_warn before calling panic() to avoid recursive panics:

kernel/kcsan/report.c: print_report()
kernel/sched/core.c: __schedule_bug()
mm/kfence/report.c: kfence_report_error()

In order to avoid copy-pasting "panic_on_warn = 0" all over the places, it
is better to move it inside panic() and then remove it from the other
places.
