Sorry. I misread your email. If the code looks like this: foo = kmalloc(); if (!foo) goto kmalloc_failed; The "kmalloc_failed" doesn't add any information. We can see that kmalloc failed from the context. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
