In a couple of situations like: name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL); if (!name) return -ENOSPC; the error is not actually "No space left on device", but "Out of memory". So, it is semantically correct to return -ENOMEM in all failed kstrndup() and kzalloc() cases in this driver, as it is not a problem with disk space, but with kernel memory allocator. The semantically correct should be: name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL); if (!name) return -ENOMEM; Cc: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Mirsad Goran Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- lib/test_firmware.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/test_firmware.c b/lib/test_firmware.c index 1d7d480b8eeb..add4699fc6cd 100644 --- a/lib/test_firmware.c +++ b/lib/test_firmware.c @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ static int __kstrncpy(char **dst, const char *name, size_t count, gfp_t gfp) { *dst = kstrndup(name, count, gfp); if (!*dst) - return -ENOSPC; + return -ENOMEM; return count; } @@ -671,7 +671,7 @@ static ssize_t trigger_request_store(struct device *dev, name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL); if (!name) - return -ENOSPC; + return -ENOMEM; pr_info("loading '%s'\n", name); @@ -719,7 +719,7 @@ static ssize_t trigger_request_platform_store(struct device *dev, name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL); if (!name) - return -ENOSPC; + return -ENOMEM; pr_info("inserting test platform fw '%s'\n", name); efi_embedded_fw.name = name; @@ -772,7 +772,7 @@ static ssize_t trigger_async_request_store(struct device *dev, name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL); if (!name) - return -ENOSPC; + return -ENOMEM; pr_info("loading '%s'\n", name); @@ -817,7 +817,7 @@ static ssize_t trigger_custom_fallback_store(struct device *dev, name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL); if (!name) - return -ENOSPC; + return -ENOMEM; pr_info("loading '%s' using custom fallback mechanism\n", name); @@ -868,7 +868,7 @@ static int test_fw_run_batch_request(void *data) test_buf = kzalloc(TEST_FIRMWARE_BUF_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); if (!test_buf) - return -ENOSPC; + return -ENOMEM; if (test_fw_config->partial) req->rc = request_partial_firmware_into_buf -- 2.34.1
