iomap: fix WARN_ON_ONCE() from unprivileged users
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit a805c11 ]

It is trivial to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(1) in iomap_dio_actor() by
unprivileged users which would taint the kernel, or worse - panic if
panic_on_warn or panic_on_taint is set. Hence, just convert it to
pr_warn_ratelimited() to let users know their workloads are racing.
Thank Dave Chinner for the initial analysis of the racing reproducers.
