Subject: [PATCH 011 of 16] knfsd: svcrpc: WARN() instead of returning an error from svc_take_page
Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 15:19:01 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1060403051901.1857@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20060403151452.1567.patches@notabene


Every caller of svc_take_page ignores its return value and assumes it
succeeded.  So just WARN() instead of returning an ignored error.  This
would have saved some time debugging a recent nfsd4 problem.

If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we
overwrite an earlier part of the reply while xdr-encoding.

While the corrupted reply is a nasty bug, it would be worse to panic here
and create the possibility of a remote DOS; hence WARN() instead of BUG().
