The kernel has not yet defined ASSERT(). Indeed, BUG() and WARN() are very
clear and can cover most application scenarios. However, some applications
require more debugging information and similar behavior to assert(), which
cannot be directly provided by BUG() and WARN().
Therefore, many modules independently implement ASSERT(), and most of them
are similar, but slightly different. This makes the code redundant and
inconvenient to troubleshoot the system. Therefore, perhaps we need to
define two wrappers for BUG() and WARN(), provide the implementation of
ASSERT(), simplify the code and facilitate problem analysis.
