The change generally seems fine to me. IIRC, we had a point in time
where these issues were prevalent and noisy. We also had a few lingering
ones that were hard to reproduce. I do wonder whether this would make
that situation difficult to reproduce. For example, running through an
xfstests run where one test might reproduce randomly and suppress output
from a subsequent, perhaps more frequent reproducer. Am I correct to
assume that once fired, the warning wouldn't fire again before a reboot
or module reload?
Hmm, did we have asserts that covered these scenarios as well?
