Many systems run with panic-on-warn (i.e. the cloud), as they want to drop a box and restart it if anything goes wrong. That's why syzbot reports on WARN_* calls.

But don't add a warning for something that can't happen. Just handle it and move on. It looks like you are handling it in this code, so please drop the WARN_ON(). thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
