Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ibmveth: Return correct error codes
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 19:25:19 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160204135519.GA8362@amitoj-Inspiron-3542> (raw)
The return value of kmalloc and kcalloc on failure of allocation of
memory should be -ENOMEM and not -1.
Found using Coccinelle. A simplified version of the semantic patch
used is:
//<smpl>
@@
expression *e;
position p,q;
@@
e@q = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
if@p (e == NULL) {
...
return
- -1
+ -ENOMEM
;
}
//</smpl>
The two call sites only check that the return value is not 0,
hence no change is required at the call sites.
