Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2014 16:16:13 +0100 From: Philipp Hachtmann <phacht@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, jiang.liu@...wei.com Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org, iamjoonsoo.kim@....com, hannes@...xchg.org, tangchen@...fujitsu.com, tj@...nel.org, toshi.kani@...com, Philipp Hachtmann <phacht@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm, nobootmem: Add return value check in __alloc_memory_core_early() When memblock_reserve() fails because memblock.reserved.regions cannot be resized, the caller (e.g. alloc_bootmem()) is not informed of the failed allocation. Therefore alloc_bootmem() silently returns the same pointer again and again. This patch adds a check for the return value of memblock_reserve() in __alloc_memory_core().
