From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> 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: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c b/sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c index b8ac871..b12308b 100644 --- a/sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c +++ b/sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c @@ -6585,7 +6585,7 @@ static int __devinit snd_hdspm_create(struct snd_card *card, snd_printk(KERN_ERR "HDSPM: " "unable to kmalloc Mixer memory of %d Bytes\n", (int)sizeof(struct hdspm_mixer)); - return err; + return -ENOMEM; } hdspm->port_names_in = NULL; -- 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
