From 5b530fc18324602e1ecb70cd280c2194b2656a5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:44:24 -0700 Subject: panic: call console_verbose() in panic Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace after a panic never makes it to the console. I assume we haven't seen this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called console_verbose. There are however a lot of places we call panic directly, and they are broken. Use console_verbose like we do in the oops path to ensure a directly called panic will print a backtrace.
