I don't think you can do this,
this was under spinlock because those values could change from a different
thread
and we do need to look at them all together.
You are correct that LASSET/LBUG might schedule to dump a debug log
into a file and even if not it does sleep indefinitely after that.
But in reality the default option is "panic_on_lbug=1" which simply converts
LASSERT() into panic().
This is certainly not a normal condition and as such I think we can leave the
code
as is.
Thanks.
