Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() in try_start_dim_transfer()
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 19:22:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330182255.75241-2-grondon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330182255.75241-1-grondon@gmail.com>
From: Gabriel Rondon <grondon@gmail.com>
Replace BUG_ON() calls with graceful error handling.
For the null/uninitialized channel checks, return -EINVAL instead of
crashing the kernel. For the zero bus_address check, release the
spinlock and return -EFAULT.
BUG_ON() is deprecated as it crashes the entire kernel on assertion
failure (see Documentation/process/deprecated.rst).
