I submitted a patch to active_load_balance() that was accepted into mm and then mainline. The patch included a fix to prevent the system entering what should have been an impossible state. The previous code tested for it and then continued, rather than crashing or complaining. My patch added a BUGON(impossible state) just in case by some fluke it still happened. How long should this BUGON remain in the kernel? A month, a year? Is there an accepted duration for such safety nets?
Thanks,
