[PATCH] fs/9p: Improve exception handling in v9fs_session_init()

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

 



From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The kfree() function was called in up to two cases by
the v9fs_session_init() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus return directly after a call of the function “kstrdup” failed
  at the beginning.

* Adjust jump targets.

* Delete an initialisation (for the variable “rc”)
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
