Everything is customisable in syzkaller, so maybe there are specific builds which panic_on_warn enabled, but none that I'm involved with do. Here follows a topical example. The report above in the Link: tag comes with a crashlog [0]. In there you can see the WARN() at the bottom of vhost_dev_cleanup() trigger many times due to a populated (non-flushed) worker list, before finally tripping the BUG() which triggers the report: [0] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashLog&x=16a61fce700000 > > > And what happens if the mutex is locked _RIGHT_ after you checked it? > > > You still have a race... > > > > No, we miss a warning that one time.
