From 07dccf3344010f9b9df7fe725da7e73bca2992df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] check return value of cpu_callback Spawing ksoftirqd, migration, or watchdog, and calling init_timers_cpu() may fail with small memory. If it happens in initcalls, kernel NULL pointer dereference happens later. This patch makes crash happen immediately in such cases. It seems a bit better than getting kernel NULL pointer dereference later.
