Xen frontends shouldn't BUG() in case of illegal data received from their backends. So replace the BUG_ON()s when reading illegal data from the ring page with negative return values.

How nice, you just rebooted on panic-on-warn systems :(

Why keep this line? Please just fix this up properly, if userspace can trigger this, then both the WARN_ON() and BUG_ON() are not correct and need to be correctly handled.

Same here, you still just paniced a machine :( thanks, greg k-h
