Hello,
Another run of a small script for the semantic patch language (Coccinelle)
pointed the implementation of the function “process_reloc_for_got” out for
further considerations.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/alpha/kernel/module.c?id=e05f574a0bb1f4502a4b2264fdb0ef6419cf3772#n40
Would it be useful to check the return value from a call of the
function “kmalloc” also there?
Regards,
Markus

*drumroll* it'd actually be a proper bugfix.
