The WARN_ON() check in static function create_cache() is done by its only parent kmem_cache_create_usercopy() before calling it. if (... WARN_ON(size < usersize || size - usersize < useroffset)) usersize = useroffset = 0; ... s = create_cache(..., size, ..., useroffset, usersize, ...); Therefore, the WARN_ON() check in create_cache() can be safely removed.
