Subject: [PATCH] smackfs: check for allocation failures in smk_set_access()
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 01:16:15 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <494F148F.8070101@larces.uece.br> (raw)
smackfs: check for allocation failures in smk_set_access()
While adding a new subject/object pair to smack_list, smk_set_access()
didn't check the return of kzalloc().
This patch changes smk_set_access() to return 0 or -ENOMEM, based on
kzalloc()'s return. It also updates its caller, smk_write_load(), to
check for smk_set_access()'s return, given it is no longer a void
return function.
