Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 09/21] memblock: drop memblock_alloc_base()

Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.ibm.com> writes:

> The memblock_alloc_base() function tries to allocate a memory up to the

> fails. Replace its usage with memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make the
> callers check the return value and panic in case of error.
