ENOMEM? Does not look right then.

ENOMEM means the memory allocated not enough? any suggestion? Thanks.

The error code is okay, but we rarely need to print error messages for
memory allocation failures. Core prints it already.

It's not same as below case. Allocation is successful here, while the driver used more than allocated size.

No, the syntax is:
ret = dev_err_probe

But why do you print messgaes for memory allocations?

Do you think it's useless because mm codes should print error as well if
failure ?

We fixed this in kernel long, long, long time ago so we have even
coccicheck scripts to find misuses.


Thanks, yeah.. I know mm codes already have for example warn_alloc() to print error messages. Thanks for pointing out.



Best regards,
