SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] kernel/module: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG
+++ zhouchuangao [12/05/21 07:01 -0700]:
>Fix the following coccinelle report:

>kernel/module.c:1018:2-5:
>WARNING: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG.
>
>BUG_ON uses unlikely in if(). Through disassembly, we can see that
>brk #0x800 is compiled to the end of the function.
>As you can see below:

> ffffff8008660bec: d65f03c0 ret
> ffffff8008660bf0: d4210000 brk #0x800
>
>Usually, the condition in if () is not satisfied. For the
>multi-stage pipeline, we do not need to perform fetch decode
>and excute operation on brk instruction.

>In my opinion, this can improve the efficiency of the
