Subject: [PATCH] memory-hotplug: don't BUG() in register_memory_resource()
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:50:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450450224-18515-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)

Out of memory condition is not a bug and while we can't add new memory in
such case crashing the system seems wrong. Propagating the return value
from register_memory_resource() requires interface change.
