This directory contains the source code for a module that is guarateed to make your kernel panic. This is obviously not a useful module in normal operation! It can be useful for some kinds of testing, however. For example, if you want to be sure that your system will reboot after a panic then you can use this to check. To build, you'll probably want to adjust the path to your kernel build directory in the Makefile. Then just "make". To trigger the panic, "insmod panic.ko". This code is in the public domain.
