From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path. 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/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c index 3c60137..767cc12 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c +++ b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c @@ -1171,8 +1171,10 @@ ip_vs_add_service(struct net *net, struct ip_vs_service_user_kern *u, goto out_err; } svc->stats.cpustats = alloc_percpu(struct ip_vs_cpu_stats); - if (!svc->stats.cpustats) + if (!svc->stats.cpustats) { + ret = -ENOMEM; goto out_err; + } /* I'm the first user of the service */ atomic_set(&svc->usecnt, 0); -- 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
