Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drivers/net/ax88796.c: Return error code in failure
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:11:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1287411074-19825-2-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)

In this code, 0 is returned on failure, even though other
failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@a@
identifier alloc;
identifier ret;
constant C;
expression x;
@@

x = alloc(...);
if (x == NULL) { <+... \(ret = -C; \| return -C; \) ...+> }

@@
identifier f, a.alloc;
expression ret;
expression x,e1,e2,e3;
@@

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
*x = alloc(...)
... when != ret = e2
if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3
  return ret;
}
// </smpl>

Another call to platform_get_resource in the same function uses -ENXIO, so
I have used the same value here.
