[PATCH 2/2] staging: android: ashmem: Don't allow range_alloc() to fail.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ashmem_pin() is calling range_shrink() without checking whether
range_alloc() succeeded. Since memory allocation fault injection might
force range_alloc() to fail while range_alloc() is called for only once
for one ioctl() request, make range_alloc() not to fail.
