I just want to know WARN_ON WHAT in device_add_disk,
if bdi_register_owner return error code, it may fail at any step of following:

bdi_debug_root is NULL
bdi->debug_dir is NULL
bdi->debug_stats is NULL

so I want see the WARN_ON as you paste before, also my DEBUG log will help
to find which step fail.
