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/net/irda/sa1100_ir.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/irda/sa1100_ir.c b/drivers/net/irda/sa1100_ir.c index e250675..42fde9e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/irda/sa1100_ir.c +++ b/drivers/net/irda/sa1100_ir.c @@ -940,8 +940,10 @@ static int sa1100_irda_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) goto err_mem_3; dev = alloc_irdadev(sizeof(struct sa1100_irda)); - if (!dev) + if (!dev) { + err = -ENOMEM; goto err_mem_4; + } SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, &pdev->dev); -- 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
