Subject: mm/sparse.c: check the return value of sparse_index_alloc()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc6~42
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=af0cd5a7c3cded50c25e98acd94912d17a0eb914;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

mm/sparse.c: check the return value of sparse_index_alloc()

Since sparse_index_alloc() can return NULL on memory allocation failure,
we must deal with the failure condition when calling it.
