Subject[PATCH 5.17 204/219] tick/nohz: Use WARN_ON_ONCE() to prevent console saturation
Date
From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

commit 40e97e42961f8c6cc7bd5fe67cc18417e02d78f1 upstream.

While running some testing on code that happened to allow the variable
tick_nohz_full_running to get set but with no "possible" NOHZ cores to
back up that setting, this warning triggered:

if (unlikely(tick_do_timer_cpu == TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE))
WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running);

The console was overwhemled with an endless stream of one WARN per tick
per core and there was no way to even see what was going on w/o using a
serial console to capture it and then trace it back to this.

Change it to WARN_ON_ONCE().

Fixes: 08ae95f4fd3b ("nohz_full: Allow the boot CPU to be nohz_full")
