halt: init exits/panic

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello!

What's the 'correct behaviour' of an init system, if someone wants
to shutdown the system?

I currently do:

- call reboot(RB_POWER_OFF/RB_AUTOBOOT/RB_HALT_SYSTEM)
- _exit(0)

Is this exit() call wrong? If I do RB_HALT_SYSTEM and _exit(0) after,
the kernel panics.

Should init simply sleep, return to normal processing or exit?

Sincerly,

Nico
