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.

Signed-off-by: Christian Gromm <christian.gromm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

There is also Co-Developed-by: for stuff like this if needed.

I'll keep that in mind, too.

thanks,
Chris
