You just crashed a machine, with no chance for recovery. Not a good
idea. Never a good idea. Customers just lost data, and now they are
mad. Make sure you at least print out your email address so they know
who to blame :)
Seriously, never BUG() in a driver, warn, sure, but this just looks like
a debugging assert(). Please remove all of these, they are sprinkled
all over the driver code here, I'm only responding to one of them here.
Even better yet, properly handle the error and keep on going, that's
what the rest of the kernel does. Or should :)
thanks,
