    OK, the problem might actually not be the omission of displaying the
    tainted information but the omission of considering any relevant
    context.

    Looking deeper:

    Number #2424 is WARN_ON-after-tainted-oops.

    Is your rank 1 just a symptom that the system is in a bad state after
    running in what is your rank 8?

    In this case the information when following e.g. #2827 is quite useless
    since wherever you got this trace from all related context information
    like e.g. whether it's like #2424 just the symptom of a previous Oops is
    not displayed.

    In the worst case, an entry might only contain WARN_ON traces without
    any information where the traces came from and whether it's worth
    looking at them or whether the system always already was in a known-bad
    state when they occured?
