From 452b94b8c8c7eb7dd0d0fa9a9776e0d02cd73b97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2017 19:00:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a reason for the check. The code correctly checks whether the swap slot cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not actually problematic afaik. I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there. I suspect the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about it but not bring the machine down.
