Re: [PATCH] Btrfs: check return value of kmalloc()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

there are more unchecked kmallocs, in inode.c:btrfs_add_delayed_iput()

2030        delayed = kmalloc(sizeof(*delayed), GFP_NOFS | __GFP_NOFAIL);

and in extent-tree.c:relocate_one_extent()

7992        new_extents = kmalloc(sizeof(*new_extents),
7993                                                 GFP_NOFS);

the value is checked later, new_extents is passed to get_new_locations
and there it's checked, but no other callers pass potential NULL and the
check fits here and can be dropped from get_new_locations; there's a
little chance that get_new_locations will be able to succesfully
allocate the same data a jiffy later.

IMO the check can be safely added here and get_new_locations cleaned up
later.

Feel free to fold the changes into your patch.

I did not find any more unchecked allocatinos.
