From 95920324f51b3a12603cf6d9bacbd831f34c5b60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 15:20:19 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] ppc64: unflatten_device_tree() should check if lmb_alloc() fails unflatten_device_tree() doesn't check if lmb_alloc() succeeds or not, it should. All it can do is panic, but at least there's an error message (assuming you have some sort of console at that point).
