Hello, Mr. Christoph
Thanks for good feedback.
If the kernel log is flooded with error message, as you pointed out,
it may cause other side-effect.(e.g: system non-responsive or lockup)

To. Mr. Darrick J. Wong
If you or other kernel developers do not disagree with the
idea(WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON),
do I have to resend the patch with new revision?

The title, the commit message and patch might be changed as followings;
======
xfs: Use WARN_ON_ONCE rather than BUG() for bailout mount-operation

If the CONFIG_BUG is enabled, BUG() is executed and then system is crashed.
However, the bailout for mount is no longer proceeding.

For this reason, using WARN_ON_ONCE rather than BUG() could prevent
this situation.
