Lets test this scenario and verify hung task panic if it works fine or not.

1. On first terminal: Run an infinite look for a disk write job.

# while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/dd_tempfile bs=15 count=2100; done

 

2. On Second terminal: Freeze this mount point /tmp/

# fsfreeze -f /tmp

Now after some time, system should panic and generate a task core dump as well.
