The patch titled Subject: init/main: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is init-main-add-checks-for-the-return-value-of-memblock_alloc.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/init-main-add-checks-for-the-return-value-of-memblock_alloc.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/init-main-add-checks-for-the-return-value-of-memblock_alloc.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: init/main: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*() Add panic() calls if memblock_alloc() returns NULL. The panic() format duplicates the one used by memblock itself and in order to avoid explosion with long parameters list replace open coded allocation size calculations with a local variable.
