The patch titled Subject: lib/test_meminit: add checks for the allocation functions has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is lib-test_meminit-add-checks-for-the-allocation-functions.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/lib-test_meminit-add-checks-for-the-allocation-functions.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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 via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/test_meminit: add checks for the allocation functions Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2022 17:12:15 +0800 alloc_pages(), kmalloc() and vmalloc() are all memory allocation functions which can return NULL when some internal memory failures happen. So it is better to check the return of them to catch the failure in time for better test them.
