Only debugging AFAIK, no discoveries yet.

    net: use WARN() for the WARN_ON in commit b6b39e8f3fbbb
    
    Commit b6b39e8f3fbbb (tcp: Try to catch MSG_PEEK bug) added a printk()
    to the WARN_ON() that's in tcp.c. This patch changes this combination
    to WARN(); the advantage of WARN() is that the printk message shows up
    inside the message, so that kerneloops.org will collect the message.
    
    In addition, this gets rid of an extra if() statement.

    tcp: Try to catch MSG_PEEK bug
    
    This patch tries to print out more information when we hit the
    MSG_PEEK bug in tcp_recvmsg.  It's been around since at least
    2005 and it's about time that we finally fix it.
