In this code, 0 is returned on 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> @a@ identifier alloc; identifier ret; constant C; expression x; @@ x = alloc(...); if (x == NULL) { <+... \(ret = -C; \| return -C; \) ...+> } @@ identifier f, a.alloc; expression ret; expression x,e1,e2,e3; @@ ret = 0 ... when != ret = e1 *x = alloc(...) ... when != ret = e2 if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3 return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- Another call to platform_get_resource in the same function uses -ENXIO, so I have used the same value here. drivers/net/ax88796.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ax88796.c b/drivers/net/ax88796.c index 20e946b..b6da4cf 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ax88796.c +++ b/drivers/net/ax88796.c @@ -864,6 +864,7 @@ static int ax_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0); if (res == NULL) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no IRQ specified\n"); + ret = -ENXIO; goto exit_mem; } -- 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
