From 239f49c0800778c863585a103805c58afbad6748 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MinChan Kim Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 22:12:08 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] slob: Fix to return wrong pointer Although slob_alloc return NULL, __kmalloc_node returns NULL + align. Because align always can be changed, it is very hard for debugging problem of no page if it don't return NULL. We have to return NULL in case of no page.
