memdump_user usually gets fed unchecked userspace input. Blasting a full backtrace into dmesg every time is a bit excessive - I'm not sure on the kernel rule in general, but at least in drm we're trying not to let unpriviledge userspace spam the logs freely. Definitely not entire warning backtraces. It also means more filtering for our CI, because our testsuite exercises these corner cases and so hits these a lot.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
