Using a mutex for "print this warning only once" is so overdesigned as to be actively offensive to my sensitive stomach. Just use "pr_info_once()" that already does this, although in a (harmlessly) racy manner that can in theory cause the message to be printed twice if more than one CPU races on that "is this the first time" test. [ If somebody really cares about that harmless data race (which sounds very unlikely indeed), that person can trivially fix printk_once() by using a simple atomic access, preferably with an optimistic non-atomic test first before even bothering to treat the pointless "make sure it is _really_ just once" case. A mutex is most definitely never the right primitive to use for something like this. ] Yes, this is a small and meaningless detail in a code path that hardly matters. But let's keep some code quality standards here, and not accept outrageously bad code.
