    module: Do a WARN_ON_ONCE() for assert module mutex not held · 9502514f
    Steven Rostedt authored
    When running with lockdep enabled, I triggered the WARN_ON() in the
    module code that asserts when module_mutex or rcu_read_lock_sched are
    not held. The issue I have is that this can also be called from the
    dump_stack() code, causing us to enter an infinite loop...

    Which gives us rather useless information. Worse yet, there's some race
    that causes this, and I seldom trigger it, so I have no idea what
    happened.
    
    This would not be an issue if that warning was a WARN_ON_ONCE().
