The sctp_sf_eat_auth() function is supposed to return enum sctp_disposition values but if the call to sctp_ulpevent_make_authkey() fails, it returns -ENOMEM. This results in calling BUG() inside the sctp_side_effects() function. Calling BUG() is an over reaction and not helpful. Call WARN_ON_ONCE() instead. This code predates git. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This is just from reviewing the code and not tested. To be honest, the WARN_ON_ONCE() stack trace is not very helpful either because it wouldn't include sctp_sf_eat_auth(). It's the best I can think of though. net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c b/net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c index 7fbeb99d8d32..8c88045f26c6 100644 --- a/net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c +++ b/net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c @@ -1250,7 +1250,10 @@ static int sctp_side_effects(enum sctp_event_type event_type, default: pr_err("impossible disposition %d in state %d, event_type %d, event_id %d\n", status, state, event_type, subtype.chunk); - BUG(); + error = status; + if (error >= 0) + error = -EINVAL; + WARN_ON_ONCE(1); break; } -- 2.39.2
