Propagate error code on failure. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier ret; expression e1,e2; @@ ( if (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/touchscreen/sur40.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/input/touchscreen/sur40.c b/drivers/input/touchscreen/sur40.c index 8be7b9b..3f11763 100644 --- a/drivers/input/touchscreen/sur40.c +++ b/drivers/input/touchscreen/sur40.c @@ -581,6 +581,7 @@ static int sur40_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, sur40->alloc_ctx = vb2_dma_sg_init_ctx(sur40->dev); if (IS_ERR(sur40->alloc_ctx)) { dev_err(sur40->dev, "Can't allocate buffer context"); + error = PTR_ERR(sur40->alloc_ctx); goto err_unreg_v4l2; } -- 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
