From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Set the return variable to an error code as done 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: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- Not tested. drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes.c b/drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes.c index 4291410..353c7b0 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes.c @@ -675,8 +675,11 @@ static int nes_probe(struct pci_dev *pcidev, const struct pci_device_id *ent) INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&nesdev->work, nes_recheck_link_status); /* Initialize network devices */ - if ((netdev = nes_netdev_init(nesdev, mmio_regs)) == NULL) + netdev = nes_netdev_init(nesdev, mmio_regs); + if (netdev == NULL) { + ret = -ENOMEM; goto bail7; + } /* Register network device */ ret = register_netdev(netdev); -- 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
