Subject: [PATCH v7 4/5] powerpc: Use WARN_ON and fix check in poking_init
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:37:16 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211110003717.1150965-5-jniethe5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211110003717.1150965-1-jniethe5@gmail.com>
From: "Christopher M. Riedl" <cmr@bluescreens.de>
The latest kernel docs list BUG_ON() as 'deprecated' and that they
should be replaced with WARN_ON() (or pr_warn()) when possible. The
BUG_ON() in poking_init() warrants a WARN_ON() rather than a pr_warn()
since the error condition is deemed "unreachable".
Also take this opportunity to fix the failure check in the WARN_ON():
cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, ...) returns a positive integer
on success and a negative integer on failure.
