Hi,

please, submit a proper bugreport, including all the needed data (see
REPORTING-BUGS document in the kernel sources), namely kernel version, HW
architecture, extra patches applied, configuration, loaded modules, etc.

Also, your issue is not related to this thread at all, could you please
start a new one with more descriptive name, so there is a chance that
someone responsible notices? This thread is about how WARN_ON is
implemented, not about problems with certain modules triggering WARN_ON
messages.

BTW seems really strange. Do you really get all the lines output twice?
