[PATCH 2/2] xen/setup: warn on bad Xen-supplied memory map

From: Martin Kelly
Date: Mon Oct 13 2014 - 22:31:01 EST


Currently, we don't check the return code of sanitize_e820_map. However,
if the Xen-supplied memory map is invalid, then sanitize_e820_map will
return without doing anything, potentially leading to errors later on.
Add a WARN_ON in case sanitize_e820_map detects an invalid memory map.
