There is an existing check already, which should be cleaned up. drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c 498 499 if (ep && port->hpd) { ^^ This useless existing check should be removed. 500 list_add_tail(&urbl->link, &ep->urb_list); 501 if (!in_dir && ep_addr && (ep->credit < 0)) { 502 getrawmonotonic(&ep->timestamp); 503 ep->credit = 0; 504 } 505 } else { 506 err = -EPIPE; 507 } I'm not sure that think -ENOMEM is the correct error code but I also don't know what else to use. I had a style nit pick as well, below. > Signed-off-by: Rupesh Gujare <rupesh.gujare@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c | 9 +++++++-- > 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c b/drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c > index ed63868..d313a63 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c > @@ -480,10 +480,14 @@ static int oz_enqueue_ep_urb(struct oz_port *port, u8 ep_addr, int in_dir, > oz_free_urb_link(urbl); > return 0; > } > - if (in_dir) > + if (in_dir && port->in_ep[ep_addr]) > ep = port->in_ep[ep_addr]; > - else > + else if (!in_dir && port->out_ep[ep_addr]) > ep = port->out_ep[ep_addr]; In the future, use kernel braces style. If one side of the if else statement gets a brace then they both get one. So it's like this: if (in_dir && port->in_ep[ep_addr]) { ep = port->in_ep[ep_addr]; } else if (!in_dir && port->out_ep[ep_addr]) { ep = port->out_ep[ep_addr]; } else { err = -ENOMEM; goto out; } Or another simpler way to write this would be: ep = NULL; if (in_dir) ep = port->in_ep[ep_addr]; else ep = port->out_ep[ep_addr]; if (!ep) { err = -ENOMEM; goto unlock; } regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
