Next: [PATCH 4/5] fs/ecryptfs: Return -ENOMEM on memory allocation failure
From: Julia Lawall on 11 Aug 2010 06:20 From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression ret; expression x,e1,e2,e3; @@ ret = 0 .... when != ret = e1 *x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...) .... when != ret = e2 if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3 return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> --- drivers/usb/gadget/m66592-udc.c | 1 + drivers/usb/gadget/r8a66597-udc.c | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/r8a66597-udc.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/r8a66597-udc.c index 70a8178..2456ccd 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/r8a66597-udc.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/r8a66597-udc.c @@ -1557,6 +1557,7 @@ static int __init r8a66597_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) /* initialize ucd */ r8a66597 = kzalloc(sizeof(struct r8a66597), GFP_KERNEL); if (r8a66597 == NULL) { + ret = -ENOMEM; printk(KERN_ERR "kzalloc error\n"); goto clean_up; } diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/m66592-udc.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/m66592-udc.c index 166bf71..e03058f 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/m66592-udc.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/m66592-udc.c @@ -1609,6 +1609,7 @@ static int __init m66592_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) /* initialize ucd */ m66592 = kzalloc(sizeof(struct m66592), GFP_KERNEL); if (m66592 == NULL) { + ret = -ENOMEM; pr_err("kzalloc error\n"); goto clean_up; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
