Subject: [PATCH] staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() with graceful error handling
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:54:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319115408.24215-1-grondon@gmail.com> (raw)
BUG_ON() is deprecated as it crashes the entire kernel on assertion
failure (see Documentation/process/deprecated.rst). Replace all
BUG_ON() calls in dim2.c with proper error handling that returns
appropriate error codes instead of panicking.
In try_start_dim_transfer(), replace the BUG_ON for null/uninitialized
channel with an early return of -EINVAL, and replace the BUG_ON for
zero bus_address with an error return that properly releases the
spinlock first.
In service_done_flag(), replace BUG_ON with an early return since the
function returns void.
In configure_channel(), enqueue(), and poison_channel(), replace BUG_ON
range checks on ch_idx with returns of -EINVAL.
