[PATCH 2/2] um: vector: Fix an error handling path in 'vector_parse()'

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

 



If 'find_device()' finds something, we set '*error_out' and we should
return an error. However, 'err' is known to be 0 at this point.

Explicitly return -EINVAL instead.

While at it, remove the initialization of 'err' at the beginning of the
function and also explicitly return an error code if the first check
fails.

Not sure if correct, but it looks spurious to set 'error_out' and return
0 (i.e. success)
