From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> Convert a nonnegative error return code to a negative one, as returned 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: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/s390/char/monreader.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/s390/char/monreader.c b/drivers/s390/char/monreader.c index 5b8b859..f4ff515 100644 --- a/drivers/s390/char/monreader.c +++ b/drivers/s390/char/monreader.c @@ -571,8 +571,11 @@ static int __init mon_init(void) if (rc) goto out_iucv; monreader_device = kzalloc(sizeof(struct device), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!monreader_device) + if (!monreader_device) { + rc = -ENOMEM; goto out_driver; + } + dev_set_name(monreader_device, "monreader-dev"); monreader_device->bus = &iucv_bus; monreader_device->parent = iucv_root; -- 1.7.11.4 -- 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
