panic() should never be used for kernel type of bugs, that's what BUG_ON() is for. panic() tends to be for "your cpu melted" and "you don't have a root fs".. nothing else.
for both of those cases, a stack trace actually hurts because it scrolls the useful information off the screen instead. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
