Subject: [PATCH v2] KEYS: trusted: Do not use WARN when encode fails
Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 03:47:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240514004759.6625-1-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)
When asn1_encode_sequence() fails, WARN is not the correct solution.
1. asn1_encode_sequence() is not an internal function (located
in lib/asn1_encode.c).
2. Location is known, which makes the stack trace useless.
3. Results a crash if panic_on_warn is set.
It is also noteworthy that the use of WARN is undocumented, and it
should be avoided unless there is a carefully considered rationale to
use it.
Replace WARN with pr_err, and print the return value instead, which is
only useful piece of information.
