[PATCH v2 14/19] maple_tree: WARN_ON_ONCE when allocations fail
From: Liam R. Howlett (Oracle)
Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 15:16:59 EST
Allocations should never fail in the circumstances that are expected to
occur. Add checks in the code to ensure the circumstances are correctly
set up by the user and warn if they are not.
Also add a warning on failure to allocate, which should never happen.
