Commit Message

Du Cheng April 15, 2021, 7:59 a.m. UTC
There is a reproducible sequence from the userland that will trigger a WARN_ON()
condition in taprio_get_start_time, which causes kernel to panic if configured
as "panic_on_warn". Remove this WARN_ON() to prevent kernel from crashing by
userland-initiated syscalls.
