Subject: [PATCH v2 02/10] lib/ucs2_string: Drop arbitrary input size limit and associated WARN()
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 13:55:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909115530.1924665-14-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909115530.1924665-12-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
It's not really the job of library code to WARN and potentially bring
down the system (with panic_on_warn=1) on a condition that is fairly
arbitrary to begin with.
So drop the WARN_ON_ONCE() as well as the condition from ucs2_strscpy().
