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