Your commit message says "omit an extra message", which suggests that there are currently two messages about the memory allocation failure, and that your patch removes one of them. If that's the case, it would be nice to know where the other message is. If your patch removes the *only* message about the memory allocation failure, that might be worth doing, but the changelog should be clear about that and say "I don't think the error message is worthwhile because the function already returns failure" or something similar. > * Are you looking for a reminder on the Linux allocation failure report?

You posted two patches that remove error messages about memory allocation failures: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/dc3922b4-50f6-e7fa-482f-18e6ff5d905f@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/fd9d212e-e8da-1aa7-be7f-7bf6d8f1e15f@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx These are doing the same thing and could be combined into one patch.
