This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sctp: handle invalid error codes without calling BUG() to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sctp-handle-invalid-error-codes-without-calling-bug.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 33c2dbce9bb829bdf4d3b621bb2e8e7cd9af7c97 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 9 14:04:43 2023 +0300 sctp: handle invalid error codes without calling BUG() [ Upstream commit a0067dfcd9418fd3b0632bc59210d120d038a9c6 ] 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.
