Add a check for panic_timeout in the drm_fb_helper_panic() notifier: if we're going to reboot immediately, the user will not be able to see the messages anyway, and messing with the video mode may display artifacts, and certainly get into several layers of complexity (including mutexes and memory allocations) which we shall be much safer to avoid.

Dave, where do we stand on this? I haven't seen it hit Linus' tree and I don't see it in git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux.
The last status I have is Andrew pulling it into mmotm on 10/18/11.
Subject: + drm-avoid-switching-to-text-console-if-there-is-no-panic-timeout.patch added to -mm tree From: akpm@linux-foundation.org Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:42:46 -0700
The patch titled Subject: drm: avoid switching to text console if there is no panic timeout has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is drm-avoid-switching-to-text-console-if-there-is-no-panic-timeout.patch
I need to do another round of sending patches to maintainers.
It's a depressing exercise because the great majority of patches are simply ignored. Last time I even added "please don't ignore" to the email Subject: on the more important ones. Sigh.
Where is mmotm hosted these days?
On my disk, until kernel.org ftp access returns.
But I regularly email tarballs to Stephen, so it's all in linux-next. The mmotm tree is largely unneeded now - use linux-next to get at -mm patches.
