I haven't been able to reproduce it, but I applied Feynman's Problem Solving Algorithm, and I think this will do the trick: diff --git a/lib/xarray.c b/lib/xarray.c index b95e92598b9c..d3b168f619b1 100644 --- a/lib/xarray.c +++ b/lib/xarray.c @@ -1079,6 +1079,7 @@ void xas_split(struct xa_state *xas, void *entry, unsigned int order) xa_mk_node(child)); if (xa_is_value(curr)) values--; + xas_update(xas, child); } else { unsigned int canon = offset - xas->xa_sibs; @@ -1093,6 +1094,7 @@ void xas_split(struct xa_state *xas, void *entry, unsigned int order) } while (offset-- > xas->xa_offset); node->nr_values += values; + xas_update(xas, node); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(xas_split); #endif (the key insight is that the update function should have removed the node from the list; the WARN_ON really means "this node should not be on the list", so there's somewhere that we're forgetting to call xas_update(), or somewhere that we're forgetting to call mapping_set_update(). I didn't find any of the latter, but I did find one of the former)
