From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> The function mcs_probe() return 0 for success and negative value for most of its internal tests failures. There is one exception that is error case going to error2:. For this error case, the function abort its success execution path, but returns non negative value, making it difficult for a caller function to notice the error. This patch fixes the error case that do not return negative value. 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> --- Change from V1: Updated commit message.
