Subject: [PATCH 6/7] drivers/serial/ioc3_serial.c: Return -ENOMEM on memory allocation failure
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 12:54:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1287147610-8041-6-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other
failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression ret;
expression x,e1,e2,e3;
@@

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
*x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...)
... when != ret = e2
if (x = NULL) { ... when != ret = e3
  return ret;
}
// </smpl>
