/* Some functions are known to return non-null pointer values,
 * at least under some Kconfig conditions.
 *
 * In code like...
 *
 * void *ptr = myfunction();
 * if (unlikely(!ptr)) {
 *         printk("ERROR: this should not happen\n");
 *         goto fail;
 * }
 *
 * ... the dead code elimination of gcc will not remove the if clause
 * because the function might return a NULL value, even if a human
 * would know that myfunction() does not return a NULL value.
 *
 * Unfortunately, the __attribute__((nonnull)) can only be applied
 * to input parameters, but not to the return value.
 *
 * More unfortunately, a small inline wrapper does not help,
 * because it seems that together with the elimination of the wrapper,
 * its nonnull attribute seems to be eliminated alltogether.
 * I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature (or just a weakness).
 *
 * Following is a small hack which solves the problem at least for gcc 4.7.
 *
 * In order to be useful, the -fdelete-null-pointer-checks must be set.
 * Since MARS is superuser-only anyway, enabling this for MARS should not
 * be a security risk
 * (c.f. upstream kernel commit a3ca86aea507904148870946d599e07a340b39bf)

/* All the brick memory allocations are guaranteed to succeed when
 * CONFIG_MARS_MEM_RETRY is set. In case of low memory, they will just
 * retry (forever).
 *
 * Allow checking code to be written which works for both cases:
 * CONFIG_MARS_MEM_RETRY is selected, or not.
