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> --- fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c b/fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c index 89c5476..73811cf 100644 --- a/fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c +++ b/fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c @@ -515,6 +515,7 @@ ecryptfs_write_tag_70_packet(char *dest, size_t *remaining_bytes, if (!s) { printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Out of memory whilst trying to kmalloc " "[%zd] bytes of kernel memory\n", __func__, sizeof(*s)); + rc = -ENOMEM; goto out; } s->desc.flags = CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP; @@ -806,6 +807,7 @@ ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet(char **filename, size_t *filename_size, if (!s) { printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Out of memory whilst trying to kmalloc " "[%zd] bytes of kernel memory\n", __func__, sizeof(*s)); + rc = -ENOMEM; goto out; } s->desc.flags = CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP; -- 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/ |
