for me, I think:
if it is used by self (such as static functions):
I prefer to crash immediatly.
it will help us to find issue, quickly.
if it can be used by others (such as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL):
I prefer to return fail and tell caller that parameter is invalid.
it is more polite to callers, and still indicate it may be an issue.
