Thanks, but this and the unchecked kmalloc result (and incorrect gfp flags) have already been addressed in commit 348ea30f51fc63ce3c7fd7dba6043e8e3ee0ef34 ("powerpc/pseries: avoid blocking in irq when queuing hotplug events"): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/commit/?h=next&id=348ea30f51fc63ce3c7fd7dba6043e8e3ee0ef34
