The patch titled Subject: memblock: drop memblock_alloc_base() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is memblock-drop-memblock_alloc_base.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/memblock-drop-memblock_alloc_base.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/memblock-drop-memblock_alloc_base.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: drop memblock_alloc_base() The memblock_alloc_base() function tries to allocate a memory up to the limit specified by its max_addr parameter and panics if the allocation fails. Replace its usage with memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make the callers check the return value and panic in case of error.
