Before commit 452b94b8c8c7 ("mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to
uninitialized swap slot cache"), the following bug is reported,
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at mm/swap_slots.c:270!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
CPU: 5 PID: 1745 Comm: (sd-pam) Not tainted 4.11.0-rc1-00243-g24c534bb161b #1
Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/Z170-K, BIOS 1803 05/06/2016
RIP: 0010:free_swap_slot+0xba/0xd0
Call Trace:

---[ end trace aefc9ede53e0ab21 ]---
This is raised by the BUG_ON(!swap_slot_cache_initialized) in
free_swap_slot(). This is incorrect, because even if the swap slots
cache fails to be initialized, the swap should operate properly without
the swap slots cache. And the use_swap_slot_cache check later in the
function will protect the uninitialized swap slots cache case.
In commit 452b94b8c8c7, the BUG_ON() is replaced by WARN_ON_ONCE(). In
the patch, the WARN_ON_ONCE() is removed too.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
