Hi, Current memblock API is quite extensive and, which is more annoying, duplicated. Except the low-level functions that allow searching for a free memory region and marking it as reserved, memblock provides three (well, two and a half) sets of functions to allocate memory. There are several overlapping functions that return a physical address and there are functions that return virtual address. Those that return the virtual address may also clear the allocated memory. And, on top of all that, some allocators panic and some return NULL in case of error. This set tries to reduce the mess, and trim down the amount of memblock allocation methods. Patches 1-10 consolidate the functions that return physical address of the allocated memory Patches 11-13 are some trivial cleanups Patches 14-19 add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*() and panics in case of errors. The patches 14-18 include some minor refactoring to have better readability of the resulting code and patch 19 is a mechanical addition of if (!ptr) panic(); after memblock_alloc*() calls. And, finally, patches 20 and 21 remove panic() calls memblock and _nopanic variants from memblock.
