Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/15] turn thread_cache static-duration
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 04:02:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110040217.1927971-5-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260110040217.1927971-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

... and make is SLAB_PANIC instead of simulating it with BUG_ON() -
the boot is not going to get to kernel threads, nevermind userland...
