From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression ret; expression x,e1,e2,e3; @@ ret = 0 ... when != ret = e1 *x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...) ... when != ret = e2 if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3 return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/dma/coh901318.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/coh901318.c b/drivers/dma/coh901318.c index 557e227..6dd9488 100644 --- a/drivers/dma/coh901318.c +++ b/drivers/dma/coh901318.c @@ -1475,8 +1475,10 @@ static int __init coh901318_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) pdata->max_channels * sizeof(struct coh901318_chan), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!base) + if (!base) { + err = -ENOMEM; goto err_alloc_coh_dma_channels; + } base->chans = ((void *)base) + ALIGN(sizeof(struct coh901318_base), 4); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
