Subject: [PATCH 5.10] static_call: Replace pointless WARN_ON() in static_call_module_notify()
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2025 10:09:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250126100925.1573102-1-sdl@nppct.ru> (raw)
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
commit fe513c2ef0a172a58f158e2e70465c4317f0a9a2 upstream.
static_call_module_notify() triggers a WARN_ON(), when memory allocation
fails in __static_call_add_module().
That's not really justified, because the failure case must be correctly
handled by the well known call chain and the error code is passed
through to the initiating userspace application.
A memory allocation fail is not a fatal problem, but the WARN_ON() takes
the machine out when panic_on_warn is set.
Replace it with a pr_warn().
