[PATCH 1/1] Properly check return values of kmalloc and vmbus_recvpacket

From: Hank Janssen
Date: Thu Dec 09 2010 - 15:19:51 EST


Correct ugly oversight, we need to check the return values of kmalloc
and vmbus_recvpacket and return if they fail. I also tightened up the
call to kmalloc.

Thanks to Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@xxxxxxxxxxx> for pointing this out.
