I realized there is a typo in the subject, the file is p80211conv.c and not .h

I am new to the realm of linux kernel development. I've been sending in small patches to fix check-patch warnings. I was fixing up the file listed in the subject when I came across this warning. drivers/staging/wlan-ng/p80211conv.c:622: WARNING: Possible unnecessary 'out of memory' message Source Code: if (rxmeta == NULL) { netdev_err(wlandev->netdev, "%s: Failed to allocate rxmeta.\n", wlandev->name); result = 1; goto exit; } What is this warning about? How do I go about fixing it? Thank you, --Gavin |
