This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids rebuilding the kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() or BUG() into code sites that introduce the taint flags of interest. For instance, if one is interested in following up with a post mortem analysis at the point a code path is hitting a bad page (i.e. unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a crashdump could be collected by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the command line string. Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a mean for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario as it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.
