From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path. The initial initialization of the return variable is also dropped, because that value is never used. 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> --- net/ipv6/esp6.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv6/esp6.c b/net/ipv6/esp6.c index 6dc7fd3..282f372 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/esp6.c +++ b/net/ipv6/esp6.c @@ -167,8 +167,6 @@ static int esp6_output(struct xfrm_state *x, struct sk_buff *skb) struct esp_data *esp = x->data; /* skb is pure payload to encrypt */ - err = -ENOMEM; - aead = esp->aead; alen = crypto_aead_authsize(aead); @@ -203,8 +201,10 @@ static int esp6_output(struct xfrm_state *x, struct sk_buff *skb) } tmp = esp_alloc_tmp(aead, nfrags + sglists, seqhilen); - if (!tmp) + if (!tmp) { + err = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } seqhi = esp_tmp_seqhi(tmp); iv = esp_tmp_iv(aead, tmp, seqhilen); -- 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
