You say "did get" which makes me think you're talking about the past.
But I think you're referring to the WARN_ON you are adding in this patch?

That could be done separately as a follow-up couldn't it? Would reduce
the diff size.

Those are unrelated I think?

That would fit better in the existing comment block inside the function
I think. Normally this location would be a function description comment.
