That's only one cause of panics. At least two of gino's panics appear due to corrupted space maps, for instance. I think there may also still be a case where a failure to read metadata during a transaction commit leads to a panic, too. Maybe that one's been fixed, or maybe it will be handled by the above bug. Maybe someone needs to file a bug/RFE to remove all panics from ZFS, at least in non-debug builds? The QFS approach is to panic when inconsistency is found on debug builds, but return an appropriate error code on release builds, which seems reasonable. I/O errors, of course, should never lead to a panic. I think we [you] fixed all of those cases in UFS, and QFS, long ago.
