Subject: [PATCH net-next] switchdev: change BUG_ON to WARN for attr set failure case
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:20:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434046842-24601-1-git-send-email-sfeldma@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com>

This particular BUG_ON condition was checking for attr set err in the
COMMIT phase, which isn't expected (it's a driver bug if PREPARE phase is
OK but COMMIT fails).  But BUG_ON() is too strong for this case, so change
to WARN().  BUG_ON() would be warranted if the system was corrupted beyond
repair, but this is not the case here.
