There are three cases, not two: 1. Something slightly suboptimal happened. We didn't like it. 2.

We are currently using WARN_ON() for both of the first two; I think Ingo is merely suggesting that we start to differentiate between them. Which makes a certain amount of sense. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
