Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 2/2] xen/blkback: rework connect_ring() to avoid inconsistent xenstore 'ring-page-order' set by malicious blkfront



oops. Please ignore this v5 patch.

I just realized Linus suggested in an old email not use BUG()/BUG_ON() in the 
code.

I will switch to the WARN() solution and resend again.

Sorry for the junk email.
