It is not common for dvb_net_init to fail, but after the patch "dvb_net_init: return -errno on error" it can fail due to running out of memory. Handle this. >From an audit of dvb_net_init callers. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> --- That's the end of the series, though it would have been nice to also check the error handling in dvb/mantis/mantis_dvb.c dvb/ngene/ngene-core.c (which looks a little strange) dvb/pluto2/pluto2.c dvb/pt1/pt1.c dvb/ttpci/av7110.c dvb/ttpci/budget-core.c dvb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c video/au0828/au0828-dvb.c video/cx18/cx18-dvb.c video/cx231xx/cx231xx-dvb.c video/em28xx/em28xx-dvb.c video/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-dvb.c video/saa7164/saa7164-dvb.c Hopefully this gives the idea, anyway. Patch 2 is the important one, and the patches after that are just toys to show off patch 1. Warning: the patches are _completely_ _untested_. Test results (perhaps from provoking artificial failures in dvb_net_init), just like other comments, would be very welcome.
