Thank you for double checking this!
In the MPTCP code, we use pr_debug() statements as a debug tool, e.g. when enabled, it could print per-packet info with no restriction.
There are (a few) similar use in the plain TCP code.
pr_debug() is not supposed to be enabled on any production system, while the WARN_ONCE could trigger automated tools for irrelevant network noise.
I thing pr_debug() is fine here.
Cheers,
Paolo
