However, both are expected failure paths:\n\n- wbt_alloc() can return NULL under memory pressure (-ENOMEM)\n- wbt_init() can fail with -EBUSY if wbt is already registered\n\nsyzbot triggers this by injecting memory allocation failures during MTD\npartition creation via ioctl(BLKPG), causing a spurious warning.\n\nwbt_init_enable_default() is a best-effort initialization called from\nblk_register_queue() with a void return type. Failure simply means the\ndisk operates without writeback throttling, which is harmless.\n\nReplace WARN_ON_ONCE with plain if-checks, consistent with how\nwbt_set_lat() in the same file already handles these failures. Add a\npr_warn() for the wbt_init() failure to retain diagnostic information\nwithout triggering a full stack trace."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["block/blk-wbt.c"],"versions":[{"version":"41afaeeda5099d9cd07eaa7dc6c3d20c6f1dd9e9","lessThan":"fd7a982657077469802594a5165bc30b9a55af70","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"41afaeeda5099d9cd07eaa7dc6c3d20c6f1dd9e9","lessThan":"e9b004ff83067cdf96774b45aea4b239ace99a2f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["block/blk-wbt.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd7a982657077469802594a5165bc30b9a55af70"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e9b004ff83067cdf96774b45aea4b239ace99a2f"}],"title":"blk-wbt: remove WARN_ON_ONCE from wbt_init_enable_default()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
