LXer: "pkill_on_warn" Proposed For Killing Linux Processes That Cause A Kernel Warning
by LXer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5Q7FT)
Published at LXer:
A new kernel option was proposed today called "pkill_on_warn" that would kill all threads in a process if that process provoked a kernel warning. Currently when a process triggers a kernel warning there is no impact on that process by default. The Linux kernel does have a "panic_on_warn" option to cause a kernel panic when a warning happens, but pkill_on_warn would be less of an overkill and at least keep the system up and running.
