Subject: [PATCH] qla4xxx: Return -ENOMEM on memory allocation failure
Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 23:57:56 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140704182756.GA9319@himangi-Dell> (raw)

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 Coccinelle semantic match that finds this
problem is as follows:

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

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
*x = alloc(...)
... when != ret = e2
if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3
  return ret;
}
// </smpl>
