Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/11] kernel/kfifo.c: trivial: use BUG_ON
Date: Wed, 03 Aug 2011 08:30:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312353040.30326.0.camel@wall-e> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1108021349330.24349@ask.diku.dk>

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Allow the function to return 0 when 0 elements are asked for rather than
crashing the kernel with BUG.
