From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Initialize ret before returning on failure, as done elsewhere in the function. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- sound/ppc/snd_ps3.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/sound/ppc/snd_ps3.c b/sound/ppc/snd_ps3.c index 1aa52ef..9b18b52 100644 --- a/sound/ppc/snd_ps3.c +++ b/sound/ppc/snd_ps3.c @@ -1040,6 +1040,7 @@ static int __devinit snd_ps3_driver_probe(struct ps3_system_bus_device *dev) GFP_KERNEL); if (!the_card.null_buffer_start_vaddr) { pr_info("%s: nullbuffer alloc failed\n", __func__); + ret = -ENOMEM; goto clean_preallocate; } pr_debug("%s: null vaddr=%p dma=%#llx\n", __func__, -- 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
