Hi,
In drivers/md/raid5.c, the author does not check to see if alloc_page() returns
NULL. This patch also adds checks that return 1 (following the
error-path convention in the respective function).
Please discard this e-mail if this patch is irrelevant to you. I just
tried to be thorough.
Thank you,
David Chan
