arch_add_memory() is used to hotplug memory into a system but as a part
of its implementation it calls __create_pgd_mapping(), which uses
pgtable_alloc() in order to build intermediate page tables. As this path
was initally only used during early boot pgtable_alloc() is designed to
BUG_ON() on failure. However, in the event that memory hotplug is
attempted when the system's memory is extremely tight and the allocation
were to fail, it would lead to panicking the system, which is not
desirable. Hence update __create_pgd_mapping and all it's callers to be
non void and propagate -ENOMEM on allocation failure to allow system to
fail gracefully.
But during early boot if there is an allocation failure, we want the
system to panic, hence create a wrapper around __create_pgd_mapping()
called early_create_pgd_mapping() which is designed to panic, if ret
is non zero value. All the init calls are updated to use this wrapper
rather than the modified __create_pgd_mapping() to restore
functionality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
