Let me turn this around. Do you have an alpha and have you tried out
your patch? If not, then I'd suggest turning it into a WARN_ON(1)
instead, as in this specific case you're risking turning what was a
working system into one that doesn't.
No, I haven't and, I will change it, but it's included with my other
changes. see the reply that I'll write shortly for.
[PATCH retry] return hidden bug and unlock bugs.
Hugely trust inspiring isn't it -- the amount of eyes and comments you'll
get even on trivial patches like this? This development model is working!
Now if only we'd sometimes get some for non trivial patches as well...
