Revision 90c7eaeb14a325a760d732184ff1fbed47e5fa98 authored by Laurent Dufour on 16 October 2020, 03:09:15 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 16 October 2020, 18:11:18 UTC
At boot time, or when doing memory hot-add operations, if the links in
sysfs can't be created, the system is still able to run, so just report
the error in the kernel log rather than BUG_ON and potentially make system
unusable because the callpath can be called with locks held.

Since the number of memory blocks managed could be high, the messages are
rate limited.

As a consequence, link_mem_sections() has no status to report anymore.
