  [PATCH 3/9] MIPS: VPE: Exit vpe_release() early if vpe_run() isn't  defined Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> - 2015-07-13 01:20 +0200

#1182452 — [PATCH 3/9] MIPS: VPE: Exit vpe_release() early if vpe_run() isn't defined

vpe_run() is a weak symbol.  If there's no definition of it, its value is
zero.

If vpe_run is zero, return failure early.  We're going to fail anyway, so
there's no point in getting a VPE and attempting to load it.
