From: Alan Stern Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 09:17:05 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errors X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~55 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6a92013ba458804161c0c5b6d134d82204dc233;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errors Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory errors. This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data allocation fails. The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier head can't be initialized. Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery is possible. Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.
