panic_on_io_nmi

file: /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
variable: kernel.panic_on_io_nmi
Official reference

Controls the kernel’s behavior when a CPU receives an NMI caused by an IO error.

0: try to continue operation (default)

1: panic immediately. The IO error triggered an NMI. This indicates a serious system condition which could result in IO data corruption. Rather than continuing, panicking might be a better choice. Some servers issue this sort of NMI when the dump button is pushed, and you can use this option to take a crash dump.
