As this is just sysfs saying "Hey dummy, you are trying to do something
foolish here", what would be the better thing for it to do?

Just printk(KERN_WARNING...) and then dump the stack?

It seems the WARN_ON() that is currently being used is being treated as
an "error" by your testing, when really it isn't, unless the caller can
not handle the error being passed back up to it by the sysfs core.
Which it should, but I don't think you are even giving it the chance as
you are:

> Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...

Yup, panic_on_warn :(

ideas to make this easier for you?

pr_warn or pr_warn_once (optionally followed by dump_stack) would work
for syzbot.

This shouldn't be a _once() call, as it is called by things all over the
kernel, all with unique paths.

I'll go make up a patch for this, thanks.

[PATCH] sysfs: turn WARN() into pr_warn()

[Greg KH]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

It's not good to crash the machine if panic_on_warn() is set just
because someone made a stupid mistake of trying to create a sysfs file
with the same name of an existing one.  This makes the automated testing
tools a lot harder to find the real bugs in the kernel.

So just print a warning out and dump the stack to get the attention of
the developer that they did something foolish.  Then keep on trucking,
as this should not be a fatal error at all.

Dmitry, does this look good to you?  If so, I'll queue it up for

Perfect! Looks good. syzbot reacts on "WARNING:" string (+ if kernel
panic due to panic_on_warn that's also obviously a problem).
