I would like to present the following diff for review and discussion: http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/stop_scheduler_on_panic.diff The idea is to stop scheduler in a panic context and to provide a special environment for the only running thread, the one that called panic(9). I tried to make this diff as minimal as possible, it doesn't include changes that I consider to be useful improvements and [even] bug fixes, but which generated controversy in non-public discussions. If there is no negative feedback within next few days, then I plan to post the patch to current@ to solicit some testing. I will definitely wait for positive feedback before committing this change. I hope that I will be able to sneak it into the 9 release (unless there are objections to this). Thank you! -- Andriy Gapon
