Subject: Re: [Patch] Improve error handling in allocation of bounce buffers
 in mmc_init_queue

Hi,

  Please find the patch inline.

Subject: [PATCH]     mmc: queue:Improve error handling during allocation of
 bounce buffers.

    Allocation of previous bounce buffer in mmc_init_queue when the current
    bounce buffer allocation fails was leading to a crash later in
    __blk_segment_map_sg. Error handling is improved by allocating previous
    bounce buffer only if the current bounce buffer allocation succeeds.
