So just WARN() instead of returning an ignored error. This would have saved some time debugging a recent nfsd4 problem. If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we overwrite an earlier part of the reply while xdr-encoding. While the corrupted reply is a nasty bug, it would be worse to panic here and create the possibility of a remote DOS; hence WARN() instead of BUG(). Signed-off-by: J.
