[PATCH 4/5] x86/setup/crash: Check memblock_reserve() retval

Show all headers | View raw

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

memblock_reserve() can fail but the crashkernel reservation code
doesn't check that and this can lead the user into believing that the
crashkernel region was actually reserved. Make sure we check that return
value and we exit early with a failure message in the error case.
