Again, line numbers make it hard to determine what you're talking
about.  And we need a scenario description that might trigger this.
If you can't give it, then my fear is that you don't understand how
the code is used, in which case the risk is extremely high that that
your patch will not be correct, and may in fact may make things worse.

I could spend time trying to reverse engineer the scenario where this
might happen, but the fact of the matter is, no one has reported these
BUG_ON's ever triggering as far as I know.  So when I have free time,
I might get back to looking for them.  Otherwise, I have higher
priority things to work on, and it's going to be up to you to pursuade
me that this could actually happen in real life, and how.
