I don't think there is anything wrong with this patch specifically but why is
buf not checked for null after the vmalloc?
It seems to me that if size >= DIMM_SIZE and the vmalloc fails the gen pool
allocation is going to be leaked.
If vmalloc fails, gen_pool_free will get called through ndtest_release_resource,
registered with devm_action. But we will still need to check for vmalloc fail.
I will fix that when I send my inject-error support for the driver.
Thanks,
Santosh
