Yeah, its a WARN_ONCE().

And you didn't see it with v1 of the patch?

On the first glance this might be another bug just being exposed by
my patch.

I'm investigating further, but this might take some time. Could you
meanwhile verify the same happens with kernel 5.0-rc1? That was the
one I tested with and I didn't spot that WARN.
