This isn't a big problem. spin_is_locked always returns 0, if you don't enable CONFIG_SMP. We probably should change the code as: WARN_ON_ONCE(!spin_is_locked(&mddev->lock) && defined(CONFIG_SMP)); Interesting is if I disable CONFIG_SMP, there are several bugs exposed, I can't even boot my machine. Looks nobody tests UP case these days.
