Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: encrypted: Return early on allocation failure and drop goto
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 17:31:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029163157.119000-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) immediately if memory allocation fails, instead
of using goto and returning a NULL pointer, and remove the now-unused
'out' label.

At the call site, check 'ascii_buf' with IS_ERR() and propagate the
error code returned by datablob_format().
