When function graph is enabled, the printk from the warn on will likely
be traced as well and trigger the same WARN_ON, which will again cause
a recursion loop and crash and reboot the box with no output at all.

>   ftrace_graph_stop();

Notice that I call ftrace_graph_stop() *before* the WARN_ON(). This
disables the ftrace graph tracer and prevents the recursion loop from
happening.

There's a reason that the WARN_ON() is placed where it is.

But thanks for the report, it shows that I need to add a comment here
so that someone else doesn't send a similar patch in the future.

Notice that I call ftrace_graph_stop() *before* the WARN_ON(). This
disables the ftrace graph tracer and prevents the recursion loop from
happening.

There's a reason that the WARN_ON() is placed where it is.

But thanks for the report, it shows that I need to add a comment here
so that someone else doesn't send a similar patch in the future.

[PATCH] tracing/fgraph: remove unnecessary unlikely()

2018-11-03 Thread Yangtao Li
WARN_ON() already contains an unlikely(), so it's not necessary to use
unlikely.
