Okay.
You mean to say, if __reserved_mem_init_node fails with default err
(ENOENT) then it may not hit this condition.
Instead it will hit the 'else' case which is wrong ?
Also, the "initfn" inside "__reserved_mem_init_node" may fail in which
case also it may return default err.
Maybe, the initial author's intention was to free the memory only if
the failure type is not the default ENOENT type.
This seems to be a different issue.
Can we address this separately in a different patch ?
And how do we fix this ?
One option is to add another "if" condition with just ENOENT error check ?
if (err == -ENOENT) {
pr_err("node %s compatible matching fail\n", rmem->name);
return;
}
Then, correct the existing log with a different message:
pr_err("node %s matching reserved mem not found.\n", rmem->name);
Or, add one more "if else" condition ?
Or, fix the calling function itself : __reserved_mem_init_node ?
Thanks,
Pintu
