[PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 12/16] quota: Check for register_shrinker() failure.

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Tue Jan 23 2018 - 23:20:47 EST


From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 88bc0ede8d35edc969350852894dc864a2dc1859 ]

register_shrinker() might return -ENOMEM error since Linux 3.12.
Call panic() as with other failure checks in this function if
register_shrinker() failed.

Fixes: 1d3d4437eae1 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work")
