Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: panic from init_IRQ if IRQ handler stacks cannot be allocated
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 23:57:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326225755.50297-1-osama.abdelkader@gmail.com> (raw)

init_irq_stacks() and init_irq_scs() may fail when arch_alloc_vmap_stack
or scs_alloc return NULL. Return -ENOMEM from both and call panic() once
from init_IRQ(), covering per-CPU IRQ stacks and shadow IRQ stacks
consistently.

Signed-off-by: Osama Abdelkader <osama.abdelkader@gmail.com>
---
v2:
- Add return -ENOMEM from both init_irq_stacks() and init_irq_scs()
- Call panic() once from init_IRQ() if either init_irq_stacks() or
  init_irq_scs() returns -ENOMEM
