The driver is using -1 instead of the -ENOMEM defined macro to specify that a buffer allocation failed. Since the error number is propagated, the caller will get a -EPERM which is the wrong error condition. Also, the smatch tool complains with the following warning: gen_mjpeghdr_to_package() warn: returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM is sloppy Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/usb/go7007/go7007-fw.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/go7007/go7007-fw.c b/drivers/media/usb/go7007/go7007-fw.c index 5f4c9b9e899a..60bf5f0644d1 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/go7007/go7007-fw.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/go7007/go7007-fw.c @@ -379,7 +379,7 @@ static int gen_mjpeghdr_to_package(struct go7007 *go, __le16 *code, int space) buf = kzalloc(4096, GFP_KERNEL); if (buf == NULL) - return -1; + return -ENOMEM; for (i = 1; i < 32; ++i) { mjpeg_frame_header(go, buf + size, i); @@ -646,7 +646,7 @@ static int gen_mpeg1hdr_to_package(struct go7007 *go, buf = kzalloc(5120, GFP_KERNEL); if (buf == NULL) - return -1; + return -ENOMEM; framelen[0] = mpeg1_frame_header(go, buf, 0, 1, PFRAME); if (go->interlace_coding) @@ -832,7 +832,7 @@ static int gen_mpeg4hdr_to_package(struct go7007 *go, buf = kzalloc(5120, GFP_KERNEL); if (buf == NULL) - return -1; + return -ENOMEM; framelen[0] = mpeg4_frame_header(go, buf, 0, PFRAME); i = 368; -- 2.4.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
