After looking at callers we see that order_to_index called from 2 functions: - alloc_buffer_page called from alloc_largest_available which loop over all legit order nubmers ( Flow: alloc_largest_available-->alloc_buffer_page-->order_to_index ) - free_buffer_page takes the order using compound_order, which return 0 or the order number for the page, this function has 2 callers too, ion_system_heap_allocate (which called it in case of failure at sg_alloc_table, thus calling from this flow will no casue error) and ion_system_heap_free (which will be called on every sg table in the buffer that allocated good, meaning from this flow also error will not be created). ( Flows: ion_system_heap_free --> free_buffer_page --> order_to_index ion_system_heap_allocate --> free_buffer_page --> order_to_index ) Of course if some user will use this function with wrong order number he will be able to get this -1. So should I remove this comment and resotre the error checks? Btw, this is the same reason that I dropped the error check at ion_page_pool_shrink, so should I restore here also?
