[PATCH 4.19 02/16] panic: unset panic_on_warn inside panic()

From: Eric Biggers
Date: Thu Feb 02 2023 - 00:28:20 EST


From: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1a2383e8b84c0451fd9b1eec3b9aab16f30b597c upstream.

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.
