(We have a kernel reallocf? Huh.) Honestly, reallocf with M_WAITOK seems like a mistake =E2= =80=94 those could instead/additionally be replaced with just realloc(M_WAITOK). > Are there any cases to be aware of for why the check would be necessary w= ith M_WAITOK? Yes, contigmalloc() can fail with M_WAITOK; some of the busdma allocation s= tuff can fail with M_WAITOK. Normal malloc / UMA allocations with M_WAITOK can't return NULL (just sleep indefinitely). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
