This patch removes goto ERRORHANDER and the result variable in wilc_mq_send.
Then, the error type is directly returned. If normal operation, freeing memory
is not needed in this function.
If an error occurs, returns an error after releasing the spin lock.

V2: add releasing spinlock before returnig an error when an error happens.

You can make this allocation outisde the spinlock, then there won't be
need to release it if the allocation fails.

You are still holding pHandle->hSem here. Moreover, all error paths
return while still holding pHandle->hSem.
Can you explain to me what you mean for holding hsem here? Basically, this function cannot release
the semaphore (of course, this synchronization mechanism will be changed, anyway) if errors happen.
The thread will do his work when it is released without unexpected situations.
I'd suggest, that instead of trying to return immediately, you'd better
move error handling code to the end of the function and use goto and
several labels to do appropriate cleanups depending on when the error
was caught. E.g.
I don't want to use goto statement as possible as I can. Do you
concern semaphore uses in this function?
You should use a goto, it will make the error unwinding much easier and
is a very common pattern in Linux kernel code. It will save you many
lines in this function, please do it that way instead.
ok, I will do that,
Thanks,
Tony.
