From 1e0994730f772580ff98754eb5595190cdf371ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Igor Mammedov Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:48:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix error handling for memory region alloc callers of vhost_kvzalloc() expect the same behaviour on allocation error as from kmalloc/vmalloc i.e. NULL return value. So just return vzmalloc() returned value instead of returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) Fixes: 4de7255f7d2be5 ("vhost: extend memory regions allocation to vmalloc") Spotted-by: Dan Carpenter Suggested-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov Signed-off-by: Michael S.
