ASSERT_RTNL() macro is actual open-coded variant of WARN_ONCE() with two exceptions. First, it prints stack for multiple hits and not only once as WARN_ONCE() does. Second, the user can disable prints of WARN_ONCE by setting CONFIG_BUG to N. The multiple prints of dump stack are actually not needed, because calls without rtnl lock are programming errors and user can't do anything about them except to complain to the mailing list after first occurrence of such failure. The user who disabled BUG/WARN prints did it explicitly because by default in upstream kernel and distributions this option is enabled. It means that user doesn't want to see prints about missing locks too. This patch replaces open-coded variant in favor of already existing macro and change error prints to be once only.

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.
