Although WARN_ONCE() should not not have recursion issues, as function tracing can do weird things, I rather be safe than sorry, and not have the system triple boot due to some path that might get added in the future. If rcu_is_watching() is false, it will still get by the below recursion check and warn. That is, the below check should be done before this function calls any other function. > bit = ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(ip, *parent); > if (bit < 0) > return; > -- Steve
