[PATCH 3.2 14/94] ACPI / sysfs: fix error code in get_status()

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

 



3.2.82-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f18ebc211e259d4f591e39e74b2aa2de226c9a1d upstream.

The problem with ornamental, do-nothing gotos is that they lead to
"forgot to set the error code" bugs.  We should be returning -EINVAL
here but we don't.  It leads to an uninitalized variable in
counter_show():

    drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:603 counter_show()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.

Fixes: 1c8fce27e275 (ACPI: introduce drivers/acpi/sysfs.c)
