From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> This code initializes ret to -ENOMEM, but actually ret is not used in the code starting at err7, and -ENOMEM is always returned in this case, so the initialization of ret is unnecessary. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ local idexpression x; constant C; @@ if (...) { ... x = -C ... when != x ( return <+...x...+>; | return NULL; | return; | * return ...; ) } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/qp.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/qp.c b/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/qp.c index 93f6e5b..73e00ed 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/qp.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/qp.c @@ -130,11 +130,9 @@ static int create_qp(struct c4iw_rdev *rdev, struct t4_wq *wq, /* build fw_ri_res_wr */ wr_len = sizeof *res_wr + 2 * sizeof *res; - skb = alloc_skb(wr_len, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!skb) { - ret = -ENOMEM; + skb = alloc_skb(wr_len, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL); + if (!skb) goto err7; - } set_wr_txq(skb, CPL_PRIORITY_CONTROL, 0); res_wr = (struct fw_ri_res_wr *)__skb_put(skb, wr_len); -- 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
