It should all be caught during testing either way. And if some OOT module does something nasty, that's not our responsibility. BUG_ON is not a way to write assertions into the code.So you'd rather create exploits than crashing on a fundamental API violation? That's exactly what the series is trying to fix.
I'd rather have a sane API that doesn't even allow this level of flexibility with NOFAIL. But probably I'm missing more details here why this all has to be so complicated ;) -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
