From: Aditya Kumar Singh <quic_adisi@xxxxxxxxxxx> If the requested memory chunk is too large, an error message is logged, but the request continues to be processed. However, no actual memory is allocated to the firmware from this request. Instead, the firmware sends another request with smaller chunks, where memory will be allocated accordingly. Therefore, it is pointless to proceed with parsing the request if at least one of the requests cannot be fulfilled. Hence, return -EAGAIN immediately and proceed to process the new request.
