Subject: [RFC PATCH 14/16] mm: Free pages, remove files and clean cache when one alloc fails
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:47:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723074854.1013941-15-jyescas@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723074854.1013941-1-jyescas@google.com>

When one of the requested allocations failed, do

- free the pages that were previously allocated as part of the request.
- remove the files that were created as part of the request.
- clean the kmem cache.
- Erase the struct page_alloc objects from the xarray that were inserted
as part of the request.
