This prohibits the allocation of the memory for the MBOs if only the
part of the MBOs, requested by the application, may be allocated.  The
function arm_mbo_chain, if cannot allocate all requested MBO, frees all
prior allocated memory and returns 0.

I don't understand how Andrey is involved with this code.  Did he write
it?  Why isn't he on the CC list?

Andrey and I are writing the code for this driver and our internal dev
process on Gitlab is based on reviews.
Which means that everything I push needs to be reviewed by Andrey and
vice versa before it gets merged to master. Then I have to do the
upstream work.

I didn't put him on CC explicitly, because git-sendemail does it,
doesn't it?

It didn't CC him so far as I can see...  BCC?

Hmm, I'll make sure that he'll be put on CC next time.


Signed-of-by basically means you handled the code but didn't secretly
insert any of SCO's top secret UNIX code into the patch.  It's sort of
a legal thing.

To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the order of those tags.


It sort of sounds like Andrey is reviewing your code?  In that case,
probably Reviewed-by is the correct tag.

Yes. We are basically sitting in the same building and talk things
through, before merging them. I'll suggest your proposal.

thanks,
Chris


Normally the tags are sort of in chronoligical order.

Reported-by: Sally
Signed-off-by: Bob
Reviewed-by: Mary
Signed-off-by: Subsystem Maintainer

So it always confuses me when the first person to Sign off isn't the
author.
