commitcf94db2190upstream. vring_create_virtqueue() allows the caller to specify via the may_reduce_num parameter whether the vring code is allowed to allocate a smaller ring than specified. However, the split ring allocation code tries to allocate a smaller ring on allocation failure regardless of what the caller specified. This may cause trouble for e.g. virtio-pci in legacy mode, which does not support ring resizing. (The packed ring code does not resize in any case.) Let's fix this by bailing out immediately in the split ring code if the requested size cannot be allocated and may_reduce_num has not been specified. While at it, fix a typo in the usage instructions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
