I chose to not add code, because:
if (num_online_nodes() > 1) {
/* Use vmalloc() to allow NUMA policy to spread pages
* on all available nodes if desired.
*/
ptr = vmalloc_array(nblocks, locksz);
<< adding here a test is pointless, we already have correct code if
ptr == NULLL >>
}
if (!ptr) {
ptr = kvmalloc_array(nblocks, locksz, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ptr)
return -ENOMEM;
}
Sure, this could be written in a different way, but ultimately it is a
matter of taste.
