The patch titled drm: fix error returns, sysfs error handling has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is drm-fix-error-returns-sysfs-error-handling.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: drm: fix error returns, sysfs error handling From: Jeff Garzik <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx> - callers of drm_sysfs_create() and drm_sysfs_device_add() looked for errors using IS_ERR(), but the functions themselves only ever returned NULL on error. Fixed. - unwind from, and propagate sysfs errors Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/drm/drm_sysfs.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/char/drm/drm_sysfs.c~drm-fix-error-returns-sysfs-error-handling drivers/char/drm/drm_sysfs.c --- a/drivers/char/drm/drm_sysfs.c~drm-fix-error-returns-sysfs-error-handling +++ a/drivers/char/drm/drm_sysfs.c @@ -42,13 +42,24 @@ static CLASS_ATTR(version, S_IRUGO, vers struct class *drm_sysfs_create(struct module *owner, char *name) { struct class *class; + int err; class = class_create(owner, name); - if (!class) - return class; + if (!class) { + err = -ENOMEM; + goto err_out; + } + + err = class_create_file(class, &class_attr_version); + if (err) + goto err_out_class; - class_create_file(class, &class_attr_version); return class; + +err_out_class: + class_destroy(class); +err_out: + return ERR_PTR(err); } /** @@ -96,20 +107,36 @@ static struct class_device_attribute cla struct class_device *drm_sysfs_device_add(struct class *cs, drm_head_t *head) { struct class_device *class_dev; - int i; + int i, j, err; class_dev = class_device_create(cs, NULL, MKDEV(DRM_MAJOR, head->minor), &(head->dev->pdev)->dev, "card%d", head->minor); - if (!class_dev) - return NULL; + if (!class_dev) { + err = -ENOMEM; + goto err_out; + } class_set_devdata(class_dev, head); - for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(class_device_attrs); i++) - class_device_create_file(class_dev, &class_device_attrs[i]); + for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(class_device_attrs); i++) { + err = class_device_create_file(class_dev, + &class_device_attrs[i]); + if (err) + goto err_out_files; + } + return class_dev; + +err_out_files: + if (i > 0) + for (j = 0; j < i; j++) + class_device_remove_file(class_dev, + &class_device_attrs[i]); + class_device_unregister(class_dev); +err_out: + return ERR_PTR(err); } /** _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from jeff@xxxxxxxxxx are kauditd_thread-warning-fix.patch fix-up-a-multitude-of-acpi-compiler-warnings-on-x86_64.patch drivers-base-bus-remove-indentation-level.patch fs-partitions-check-add-sysfs-error-handling.patch drm-fix-error-returns-sysfs-error-handling.patch git-libata-all.patch pci_module_init-conversion-for-pata_pdc2027x.patch libata-return-sense-data-in-hdio_drive_cmd-ioctl.patch libata-return-sense-data-in-hdio_drive_cmd-ioctl-tidy.patch via-pata-controller-xfer-fixes.patch ahci-ati-sb600-sata-support-for-various-modes.patch git-mtd.patch update-smc91x-driver-with-arm-versatile-board-info.patch b44-fix-eeprom-endianess-issue.patch forcedeth-hardirq-lockdep-warning.patch forcedeth-power-management-support.patch forcedeth-power-management-support-tidy.patch remove-unnecessary-check-in-drivers-net-depcac.patch 8139too-force-media-setting-fix.patch tulip-fix-shutdown-dma-irq-race.patch r8169-driver-corega-support-patch.patch git-pciseg.patch git-gccbug.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
