From: Julia Lawall <ju...@diku.dk> Convert a 0 error return code to a negative one, as returned elsewhere in the function.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier ret; expression e,e1,e2,e3,e4,x; @@ ( if (\(ret != 0\|ret < 0\) || ...) { ... return ...; } | ret = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 *x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\|devm_kzalloc\|ioremap\|ioremap_nocache\|devm_ioremap\|devm_ioremap_nocache\)(...); ... when != x = e2 when != ret = e3 *if (x == NULL || ...) { ... when != ret = e4 * return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <ju...@diku.dk> --- drivers/char/tlclk.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/tlclk.c b/drivers/char/tlclk.c index ce29e7c..e95e0ab 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tlclk.c +++ b/drivers/char/tlclk.c @@ -784,8 +784,10 @@ static int __init tlclk_init(void) } tlclk_major = ret; alarm_events = kzalloc( sizeof(struct tlclk_alarms), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!alarm_events) + if (!alarm_events) { + ret = -ENOMEM; goto out1; + } /* Read telecom clock IRQ number (Set by BIOS) */ if (!request_region(TLCLK_BASE, 8, "telco_clock")) { -- 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/
