Subject: [PATCH] mm: add missing alloc_percpu() NULL check in hotplug init
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:29:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717052938.58447-1-hongfu.li@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Hongfu Li <lihongfu@kylinos.cn>

No NULL check is done for alloc_percpu() when initializing per-CPU
nodestats. Allocation failure leads to NULL pointer dereference
during later memset.

Make function return int, check alloc_percpu() result and return
-ENOMEM on error. The caller chain already propagates this error
correctly.
