The alloc_dmap code returns -ENOMEM when the allocation fails. That causes the open_dmap call to return -ENOMEM which in turn causes DMAbuf_open to return -ENOMEM which causes audio_openb to return -ENOMEM, which gets back to userspace.
I don't see a problem.
[sound btw also supports a module option to keep the dmabuffers allocated once and hang onto them] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
