When CONFIG_BUG is not enabled (I see this on x86_64):

fs/jbd2/transaction.c: In function 'jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata':
fs/jbd2/transaction.c:1176: error: implicit declaration of function '__WARN'


asm-generic/bug.h does not provide a version of __WARN() when
CONFIG_BUG is not enabled...

Hmm, my feeling is that we shouldn't do that either, and that jbd2 should
be changed. If we want a function that does what __WARN() does today, we
should probably make a conscious decision about what we want it to be called
and not have it start with "__".

Why is WARN_ON() not used here ?
