[PATCH v5 4/4] mm/vmalloc.c: switch to WARN_ON() and move it under unlink_va()

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 08:08:48 EST


Trigger a warning if an object that is about to be freed is detached.
We used to have a BUG_ON(), but even though it is considered as faulty
behaviour that is not a good reason to break a system.
