mm/memblock.c: check return value of memblock_reserve() in memblock_v…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…irt_alloc_internal()

memblock_reserve() would add a new range to memblock.reserved in case
the new range is not totally covered by any of the current
memblock.reserved range.  If the memblock.reserved is full and can't
resize, memblock_reserve() would fail.

This doesn't happen in real world now, I observed this during code
review.  While theoretically, it has the chance to happen.  And if it
happens, others would think this range of memory is still available and
may corrupt the memory.

This patch checks the return value and goto "done" after it succeeds.
