During panic(), if another CPU is writing heavily the kernel log (e.g. via /dev/kmsg), then the panic CPU may livelock writing out its messages to the console. Note when too many messages are dropped during panic and suppress further printk, except from the panic CPU. This could result in some important messages being dropped. However, messages are already being dropped, so this approach at least prevents a livelock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
