[PATCH] sched/core: Convert remaining BUG_ON() instances to WARN_ON_ONCE()
From: Amin Gattout
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 07:42:42 EST
Commit 09348d75a6ce ("sched/all: Change all BUG_ON() instances in the
scheduler to WARN_ON_ONCE()") left a few BUG_ON() behind in core.c.
Convert them as well.
As described in Documentation/process/deprecated.rst, BUG_ON() crashes
the system, which makes the failure harder to report and to debug, as
the message often never reaches the console or the syslog. With
WARN_ON_ONCE() the user gets a chance to see and report the problem
instead, and system owners who do not want to keep running after an
"impossible" condition can still set panic_on_warn.

Follow-up to commit 09348d75a6ce which converted the scheduler BUG_ON()
instances to WARN_ON_ONCE() but left a few behind in core.c.
Build tested on arm64 with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT
enabled so that every converted site is compiled.
