> As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, > alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a > zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these > functions is unnecessary. There is no commit b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b in Linus' tree. In addition the current alloc_bootmem() is a macro that uses __alloc_bootmem which most defintely can return NULL. Is this against -mm or linux-next? -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
