    [PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..." · 52e88f5d
    Ingo Molnar 提交于
    WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug.  Do not try to paper over this
    fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
    following recent commit does:

        [PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message
    
        A warning is a warning, not a BUG.
    
    ( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
      CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
      signals a kernel bug. )
    
    i and others objected to this change during lkml review:
    
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2
    
    still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)
    
    Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
    to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.
