Re: [PATCH v2 19/21] treewide: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()

Le 21/01/2019 à 09:04, Mike Rapoport a écrit :
Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.
The panic message repeats the one used by panicing memblock allocators with
adjustment of parameters to include only relevant ones.

The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

expression ptr, size, align;

ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);
+ if (!ptr)
+ 	panic("%s: Failed to allocate %lu bytes align=0x%lx\n", __func__,
size, align);

memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() does not panic (help explicitly says: Does not zero allocated memory, does not panic if request cannot be satisfied.).

Stephen Rothwell reports a boot failure due to this change.

  	sparsemap_buf_end = sparsemap_buf + size;
