[PATCH 18/20] iwlwifi: return -ENOMEM instead of NULL when OOM in iwl_drv_start()

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

 



From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

The callers of iwl_drv_start() are probe functions.  If a probe
function returns 0, it means it succeeded.  So if NULL was returned by
iwl_drv_start(), it would be considered as a success.

Fix this by returning -ENOMEM if the driver struct allocation fails in
iwl_drv_start().
