We don't really want to use BUG_ON here since that would completely crash the kernel, thus the reason we commented it out. We *can't* use BUILD_BUG_ON because at least now (a) the sizes aren't constant (we are fixing this) and (b) not all compilers are smart enough to understand that "p - data" is a constant. Instead, just use a WARN_ONCE so that the first time we end up with an incorrect size we will dump a stack trace and a message, hopefully highlighting the issues early in testing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
