[PATCH -next] mm: memcg: adjust the warning when seq_buf overflows

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently it uses WARN_ON_ONCE() if seq_buf overflows when user reads
memory.stat, the only advantage of WARN_ON_ONCE is that the splat is
so verbose that it gets noticed. And also it panics the system if
panic_on_warn is enabled. It seems like the warning is just an over
reaction and a simple pr_warn should just achieve the similar effect.
