Why so ? I've followed a recent discussion where some people pointed out they disliked WARN*() due to panic-on-warn, but I didn't see any conclusion there that deprecated WARN*(). > Could you continue to use pr_warn_once() > for this (or dev_warn_one())? I think a WARN_ON() is the right option here. A failure indicates a clear driver bug, we should be as loud as possible to make sure it gets noticed during development. > > + > > + if (!is_media_entity_v4l2_subdev(link->source->entity)) { > > + pr_warn_once("source of link '%s':%u->'%s':%u is not a V4L2 sub-device, driver bug!\n", > > link->source->entity->name, link->source->index, > > link->sink->entity->name, link->sink->index); > > return 0;

Fair enough, there seems to have been more discussion. As this is still user-triggerable, this should be WARN_ON_ONCE() to prevent the user from filling the logs, intentionally or not. > > > Could you continue to use pr_warn_once() > > for this (or dev_warn_one())? > > I think a WARN_ON() is the right option here.

It's user-triggerable, but only when the driver is clearly buggy :-) WARN_ON_ONCE() is OK with me though, I don't think warning every time would provide much added value. > > > Could you continue to use pr_warn_once() > > > for this (or dev_warn_one())? > > > > I think a WARN_ON() is the right option here.

The v4l2_subdev_link_validate() function prints a one-time warning if it gets called on a link whose source or sink is not a subdev. As links get validated in the context of their sink, a call to the helper when the link's sink is not a subdev indicates that the driver has set its .link_validate() handler to v4l2_subdev_link_validate() on a non-subdev entity, which is a clear driver bug. On the other hand, the link's source not being a subdev indicates that the helper is used for a subdev connected to a video output device, which is a lesser issue, if only because this is currently common practice. There are no drivers left in the kernel that use v4l2_subdev_link_validate() in a context where it may get called on a non-subdev sink. Replace the pr_warn_once() with a WARN_ON() in this case to make sure that new offenders won't be introduced.
