bug: set warn variable before calling WARN()
This has hit me a couple of times already. I would be debugging code
and the system would simply hang and then reboot. Finally, I found that
the problem was caused by WARN_ON_ONCE() and friends.
The macro WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) is defined as:
static bool __section(.data.unlikely) __warned;
int __ret_warn_once = !!(condition);
if (unlikely(__ret_warn_once))
if (WARN_ON(!__warned))
__warned = true;
unlikely(__ret_warn_once);
Which looks great and all. But what I have hit, is an issue when
WARN_ON() itself hits the same WARN_ON_ONCE() code. Because, the
variable __warned is not yet set. Then it too calls WARN_ON() and that
triggers the warning again. It keeps doing this until the stack is
overflowed and the system crashes.
By setting __warned first before calling WARN_ON() makes the original
WARN_ON_ONCE() really only warn once, and not an infinite amount of
times if the WARN_ON() also triggers the warning.
