Testing for == 0 is ok. The parameter comes from user. -1 is hardly possible because the parameter is defined as unsigned and only alloc_sglist() parameters are signed. Could you please convert the int to unsigned so it matches the original source of the parameter? Passing -1 from user space leads to |WARNING: at /home/bigeasy/work/new/TI/linux/mm/page_alloc.c:2403 |__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x24d/0x6d0() aka ENOMEM so it is not that big of deal. 0 on the hand is more critical. > regards, > dan carpenter Sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
