For the other two drivers touched by this patch series, the probe
methods only include a single dynamic memory allocation. As such, the
stack trace provided by the generic memory code is sufficient to
quickly identify where the failure occurred.

The probe method of this driver, on the other hand, performs several
allocations and the error messages you intend to remove conveniently
pinpoint which one failed. While the offsets in the trace could be
used to derive the same information, I am skeptical that is enough to
justify removing the messages.

Thanks,

On the other hand how likely is anyone to care which particular
allocation triggered the OOM?

I suppose you would only care if a failure was due to something unique
about a specific allocation. For example, if someone made a foolish
change to a structure that resulted in a request for substantially
more memory, the messages would lead directly to the problem.

The real question is whether this change improves the driver. To me,
it seems like a draw.

It's not really for the benefit of the driver, it's for the benefit of
the kernel as a whole - the individually hand crafted error messages all
take up space in the kernel so if we just remove them and rely on the
OOM messages being loud we will in aggregate save some not completely
trivial amount of space in the kernel image. Not a *massive* amount but
somewhat helpful.
