Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: sunrpc: svcauth_gss: use BUG_ON instead of if
 condition followed by BUG

In the past we've avoided BUG_ON(X) where X might have side effects, on
the theory that it should actually be OK just to compile out BUG_ON()s.
Has that changed?

In any case, I don't find that this improves readability; dropping.

--b.
