Re: [PATCH] PCI: endpoint: IS_ERR() vs NULL bug in pci_epf_test_init_dma_chan()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch changes for a tx dma channel. There is a similar problem for a
 rx one too. The code doesn't cause an error, but it is likely better to
change to just NULL checking.
