You lost me here. Given that we have "!cur_ops->debug_objects" before
that WARN_ON_ONCE(), why do we need "cur_ops->debug_objects" inside of it?

Also, we don't get here unless the rcutorture.object_debug kernel boot
parameter is specified, don't we really want to WARN_ON_ONCE if the
current flavor does not support that?

Or do you have a use case that needs to silence these warnings?

Thanx, Paul
