The patch titled Subject: memblock: memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid(): don't panic has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is memblock-memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid-dont-panic.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/memblock-memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid-dont-panic.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/memblock-memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid-dont-panic.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memblock: memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid(): don't panic The memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid() function tries to allocate memory from the requested node and then falls back to allocation from any node in the system. The memblock_alloc_base() fallback used by this function panics if the allocation fails. Replace the memblock_alloc_base() fallback with the direct call to memblock_alloc_range_nid() and update the memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid() callers to check the returned value and panic in case of error.
