Indeed; sorry for the somewhat bogus report.

So far my test case hasn't triggered any other noticeable issue, nor splats from any debug option I have enabled, so removing the warning sounds good to me.
I'll throw Syzkaller at a kernel with the warning removed. Given this is the first time I've hit this after many days worth of fuzzing recent kernels, I suspect it won't hit anything interesting by tomorrow morning.
Thanks, Mark.
