module: Do a WARN_ON_ONCE() for assert module mutex not held
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When running with lockdep enabled, I triggered the WARN_ON() in the
module code that asserts when module_mutex or rcu_read_lock_sched are
not held. The issue I have is that this can also be called from the
dump_stack() code, causing us to enter an infinite loop...

Which gives us rather useless information. Worse yet, there's some race
that causes this, and I seldom trigger it, so I have no idea what
happened.

This would not be an issue if that warning was a WARN_ON_ONCE().
