Buggy .show hook will get just 1 line of dmesg: fill_read_buffer: ext4_attr_show+0x0/0x600 returned bad count It may or may not oops later in some unrelated process. But buggy .show hook most likely is corrupting random memory past sysfs buffer therefore deserving more. WARN, make it more visible and let QA machines panic earlier. Also, delete useless cast -- "count" is >=0 at this point. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>
