I know that this is not an oops, but semantically it is like one. I certainly want to a way to hard stop the system if something like that happens. Would something like panic_on_mm_error be better? > > Probably we should consider putting VM_BUG() at the end of these > functions instead. That is probably also a workable solution if I can reproduce the issue on my system, but VM_BUG defaults to off for many production systems (RHEL, SLES..) Any other suggestion?
