Well using BUG_ON sounds like the wrong approach in the first place.

A BUG_ON() is only justified if you prevent further data corruption, 
e.g. when you detect for example a reference count overflow or similar.

In all other cases you should trigger a WARN_ON() and abort the 
operation with -EINVAL if possible.
