[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 17/27] s390/debug: avoid kernel warning on too large number of pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 827c4913923e0b441ba07ba4cc41e01181102303 ]

When specifying insanely large debug buffers a kernel warning is
printed. The debug code does handle the error gracefully, though.
Instead of duplicating the check let us silence the warning to
avoid crashes when panic_on_warn is used.
