Actually, this should be alloc_smp_resp(RPEL_RESP_SIZE);

Just for the sake of being the same as all the rest of the code, the
sequence should be
req = alloc_smp_req(xxx_REQ_SIZE);
if (!req)
return -ENOMEM;
resp = alloc_smp_resp(xxx_RESP_SIZE);
if (!resp) {
kfree(req);
return -ENOMEM;
}
(allocate request then response).
It looks like disc_resp could use a little love too (it's using the req
alloc routines).
