-Subject: [PATCH] mempool: Reduce an assert into an error return for
- get_buddy()
-
-If we ask for a buddy that is outside of our allocation that is an
-error that should not happen with a power-of-two allocated zone...
-However, since it has been seen in the wild, we can safely return that
-there is no buddy rather than die in a too-late assert.
