Subject: [PATCH] idr: Don't WARN in idr_find
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:37:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361842632-29689-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> (raw)

Since idr is used for syscall apis (to associate 'handles' with
internal structures), don't WARN with invalid input.

For example, POSIX timers are identified by timer_t id. These
ids are idr values. If userspace passes a representable timer_t id
value (eg, id < 0) but which was not previous allocated (since the
current idr api does not return negative idr values), then the
syscall properly returns an error; a WARN is unnecessary and
undesirable.
