Not necessarily. If panic_on_oops is set (and it usually is in
"production" setups), it'll crash the box there.

Agreed, looks like you only hit an error if the read attempts to go out
of bounds. In principle that shouldn't ever happen (and I haven't seen
any reports of it).
Still...I agree with Dros that it's better to handle this without
oopsing if we can. We can return an error from either of those
functions. A sane error and a WARN_ONCE would be better here.
