Hi, Thanks for guiding. I read through Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Fixed the warnings given by checkpatch. Kindly review the updated patch. >From 7ea020e32e1fbe4d05d104e31815d908af92f2a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bhuvanesh Surachari <bhuvanesh_surachari@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 02:23:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mmc: queue:Improve error handling during allocation of bounce buffers. Allocation of previous bounce buffer in mmc_init_queue when the current bounce buffer allocation fails was leading to a crash later in __blk_segment_map_sg. Error handling is improved by allocating previous bounce buffer only if the current bounce buffer allocation succeeds.
