[RFC PATCH V3 11/16] netback: print alert and bail when scratch space is not available.

From: Wei Liu <hidden>
Date: 2012-01-30 14:45:47
Also in: xen-devel
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, xen network backend driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Wei Liu, Paul Durrant

CPU online event causes our callback to allocate scratch space for
this CPU, which may fail. The simplest and best action when NAPI or
kthread is scheduled on that CPU is to bail.
