[patch] rapidio: dereferencing an error pointer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If riocm_ch_alloc() fails then we end up dereferencing the error
pointer.

The problem is that we're not unwinding in the reverse order from how
we allocate things so it gets confusing.  I've changed this around so
now "ch" is NULL when we are done with it after we call
riocm_put_channel().  That way we can check if it's NULL and avoid
calling riocm_put_channel() on it twice.

I renamed err_nodev to err_put_new_ch so that it better reflects what
the goto does.

Then because we had flipping things around, it means we don't neeed to
initialize the pointers to NULL and we can remove an if statement and
pull things in an indent level.
