Hi Ralph,
btw, was this the fix for the crash you were seeing? It might be nice to
mention in the commit description, if you are seeing real symptoms.

Actually, the pre-existing code is a little concerning. Your change preserves
the behavior, but it seems questionable to be doing a "return 0" (whether
via the above break, or your change) when it's in this partially allocated
state. It's reporting success when it only allocates part of what was requested,
and it doesn't fill in the pages array either.

The above comment is about pre-existing potential problems, but your patch itself
looks correct, so:
