Subject: mm/vmalloc: print a warning message first on failure
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3464fa81898d5acd87e618980f6fa4f08fc76e4e;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git

mm/vmalloc: print a warning message first on failure

When a memory allocation for array of pages are not succeed emit a warning
message as a first step and then perform the further cleanup.

The reason it should be done in a right order is the clean up function
which is free_vm_area() can potentially also follow its error paths what
can lead to confusion what was broken first.
