Yes, actually that's why I attached the WARN_ON_ONCE() since when people do add that new code they'll quickly discover before posting, as long as they'll still test the patch.. Then people may even start to wonder whether we should rework -EEXIST if necessary, and IMHO that's the better place for a rework, not within the bugfix here. Please check the email I replied to Jason. I hope both of you would agree that I can repost with the fix only but drop the WARN_ON_ONCE(), or any explicit suggestion on how we should move forward with the fix would be welcomed.
