Hi list,

in file mm/slab.c and routine kmem_cache_init() I found there
is no checking for allocated memory on line:

        /* 4) Replace the bootstrap head arrays */
        {
                struct array_cache *ptr;

                ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct arraycache_init), GFP_KERNEL);

--> no check for ptr == NULL <--

                local_irq_disable();
                BUG_ON(cpu_cache_get(&cache_cache) != &initarray_cache.cache);
                memcpy(ptr, cpu_cache_get(&cache_cache),
                       sizeof(struct arraycache_init));

                ...

is that OK? or it's a bug?

                Cyrill
