This is the improved of the former patch. >From d9c4cf7dd0e4489a31610e2fb2565ee29f0e4179 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: JieJing.Zhang <kzjeef@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 4 Jul 2010 01:17:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: handle memory alloc failure in btrfs_file_aio_write() 1. kmalloc() should add a check of return valule. 2. In later code it memset zero to the allocated memory, so use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() when allocation is better.
