From: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> Typically, the return value desired for the failure of a function with an integer return value is a negative integer. In these cases, the return value is sometimes a negative integer and sometimes 0, due to a subsequent initialization of the return variable within the loop.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) //<smpl> @r exists@ identifier ret; position p; constant C; expression e1,e3,e4; statement S; @@ ret = -C ... when != ret = e3 when any if@p (...) S ... when any if (\(ret != 0\|ret < 0\|ret > 0\) || ...) { ... return ...; } ... when != ret = e3 when any *if@p (...) { ... when != ret = e4 return ret; } //</smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> --- drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c b/drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c index a7c77c7..f2a221e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c @@ -826,12 +826,12 @@ static __devinit int softing_pdev_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) goto sysfs_failed; } - ret = -ENOMEM; for (j = 0; j < ARRAY_SIZE(card->net); ++j) { card->net[j] = netdev = softing_netdev_create(card, card->id.chip[j]); if (!netdev) { dev_alert(&pdev->dev, "failed to make can[%i]", j); + ret = -ENOMEM; goto netdev_failed; } priv = netdev_priv(card->net[j]); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
