[PATCH 1/8] block/genhd.c: Add error handling

Vishnu Pratap Singh
2015-11-06T12:24:42Z

This patch adds error handling for blk_register_region(), register_disk(),
add_disk(), disk_alloc_events() & disk_add_events().
add_disk() & register_disk() functions error handling is very much needed
as this is used mainly by many modules like mmc, zram, mtd, scsi etc.
But there is no error handling and it may cause stability issues also.

Verfied on X86 based ubuntu machine.
