Subject: mm/nobootmem.c: add return value check in __alloc_memory_core_early()
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87379ec8c2b8ae0acd526b87d2240afca92a7505;p=sagit-ice-cold%2Fkernel_xiaomi_msm8998.git

mm/nobootmem.c: 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().
