Please don't top post. Please wait for Stanislav to chime in.
From maintainer's perspective it'd really be preferable if the author
of the code had been given a day or two to fix the bug, rather than
(forgive me) random people (forgive me) feeding the syzbot report 
into an LLM.

My recollection is that we added this WARN to convert the whole thing
into pre-allocation / GFP_KERNEL if it actually hits on real systems.
