Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Drop WARN from multi-BAR check
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:01:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450728074-31029-1-git-send-email-labbott@fedoraproject.org> (raw)

ioremapping multiple BARs produces a warning with a message "Your kernel is
fine". This message mostly serves to comfort kernel developers. Users do
not read the message, they only see the big scary warning which means
something must be horribly broken with their system. Less dramatically, the
warn also sets the taint flag which makes it difficult to differentiate
problems. If the kernel is actually fine as the warning claims it doesn't
make sense for it to be tainted. Change the WARN_ONCE to a pr_warn with the
caller of the ioremap.
