Subject: [merged] mm-nobootmemc-add-return-value-check-in-__alloc_memory_core_early.patch removed from -mm tree To: phacht@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx,iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx,tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,tj@xxxxxxxxxx,toshi.kani@xxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:58:57 -0800 The patch titled Subject: mm/nobootmem.c: add return value check in __alloc_memory_core_early() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-nobootmemc-add-return-value-check-in-__alloc_memory_core_early.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Philipp Hachtmann <phacht@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/nobootmem.c: add return value check in __alloc_memory_core_early() When memblock_reserve() fails because memblock.reserved.regions cannot be resized, the caller (e.g. alloc_bootmem()) is not informed of the failed allocation. Therefore alloc_bootmem() silently returns the same pointer again and again. This patch adds a check for the return value of memblock_reserve() in __alloc_memory_core().
