Building a kernel with clang sometimes fails with an objtool error in dlm: fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: revert_lock_pc()+0xbd: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0xd7fc The problem is that BUG() never returns and the compiler knows that anything after it is unreachable, however the panic still emits some code that does not get fully eliminated. Having both BUG() and panic() is really pointless as the BUG() kills the current process and the subsequent panic() never hits. In most cases, we probably don't really want either and should replace the DLM_ASSERT() statements with WARN_ON(), as has been done for some of them. Remove the BUG() here so the user at least sees the panic message and we can reliably build randconfig kernels.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
