Otherwise the system will burn even brighter and worse, leave the user wondering what's going on exactly. Since we already have a panic handler which will (try) to restore the entire fbdev console mode, we can just bail out. Inspired by a patch from Konstantin Khlebnikov. The callchain leading to this, cut&pasted from Konstantin's original patch: callstack: panic() bust_spinlocks(1) unblank_screen() vc->vc_sw->con_blank() fbcon_blank() fb_blank() info->fbops->fb_blank() drm_fb_helper_blank() drm_fb_helper_dpms() drm_modeset_lock_all() mutex_lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex) Note that the entire locking in the fb helper around panic/sysrq and kdbg is ... non-existant. So we have a decent change of blowing up everything. But since reworking this ties in with funny concepts like the fbdev notifier chain or the impressive things which happen around console_lock while oopsing, I'll leave that as an exercise for braver souls than me.
