BUG_ON() should not be used in the kernel code, unless there are
exceptional reasons to do so. Replace BUG_ON() with WARN() and
return.

You still just rebooted a machine (panic-on-warn is commonly set).

Please just handle this properly, print an error message with dev_err()
or pr_err() and move on, don't crash things.

If this case is a kernel bug (which looks to be the case here), then WARN() is
correct.  The whole point of panic_on_warn is to panic the kernel when it
encounters something that has been flagged as a kernel bug, even if it would
otherwise be recoverable.

Like Eric Biggers said, a panic is probably what you want here since
this would be a basic bug, if you even want to check this.  You can't
be looking for a key if you don't have any of the identifiers.  There
a 4 current callers, 2 that have checks right before the call and 2
where this could be triggered by a bug in an ASN.1 parser or
corruption.

What's the right way to get this change merged?  There's clearly no
need to coordinate with whoever would merge 2/2 of the series.

Best regards

Ok, then keep the BUG_ON(), no change needed.

Why do you need to change this if BUG_ON() is the correct thing to do
here?

At this function's level the situation is easily recoverable, I guess
the idea is to allow the kernel to continue in the "continue at any
cost" type scenario where you'd have panic_on_* set false.
