Prevent a kernel panic by avoiding the use of the BUG_ON macro. Checkpatch detected this issue. The BUG_ON macro is not needed as such cases shouldn't happen and they were introduced for debugging purposes. Signed-off-by: Laura Garcia Liebana <nevola@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Remove the BUG_ON macro used in the module, as Marc Dietrich suggested. Changes in v3: - Include detailed commit message according to the reason of the macro removal, as Fabio Estevam suggested. Changes in v4: - Commit message adjustment in order to avoid the WARN_ON macro which is not used, as Julia suggested. drivers/staging/nvec/nvec.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/nvec/nvec.c b/drivers/staging/nvec/nvec.c index c335ae2..f6a1dbb 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/nvec/nvec.c +++ b/drivers/staging/nvec/nvec.c @@ -641,11 +641,9 @@ static irqreturn_t nvec_interrupt(int irq, void *dev) nvec_msg_free(nvec, nvec->rx); nvec->state = 3; nvec_tx_set(nvec); - BUG_ON(nvec->tx->size < 1); to_send = nvec->tx->data[0]; nvec->tx->pos = 1; } else if (status == (I2C_SL_IRQ)) { - BUG_ON(nvec->rx == NULL); nvec->rx->data[1] = received; nvec->rx->pos = 2; nvec->state = 4; -- 2.7.0 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
