Subject: [PATCH] staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON with WARN_ON_ONCE and error handling
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2026 15:48:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260209101829.2121131-1-ysinghcin@gmail.com> (raw)
Replace BUG_ON() with WARN_ON_ONCE() and proper error handling in the
DIM2 driver. BUG_ON() crashes the entire kernel, which is excessive for
conditions that can be handled by returning error codes or exiting the
function early.
Changes made:
- try_start_dim_transfer(): Check hdm_ch validity and initialization
status, returning -EINVAL on failure. Check mbo->bus_address validity,
releasing the spinlock and returning -EFAULT if zero.
- service_done_flag(): Check hdm_ch validity and initialization status,
returning early if checks fail.
- configure_channel(), enqueue(), poison_channel(): Validate ch_idx
bounds and return -EINVAL if out of range.
WARN_ON_ONCE() is used instead of WARN_ON() to prevent log flooding if
the condition triggers repeatedly.
