[PATCH 2/2] mtd: Check add_mtd_device() ret code

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

 



add_mtd_device() can fail. We should always check its return value
and gracefully handle the failure case. Fix the call sites where this
not done (in mtdpart.c) and add a __must_check attribute to the
prototype to avoid this kind of mistakes.

No Fixes or Cc-stable tag here, as this seems to have worked just fine
without checking add_mtd_device() ret code until we started to expose
MTD devices as NVMEM providers (queued for 4.21).
