[Anton Protopopov]

of -ENOMEM in case of kmalloc failure.

How have you verified this change is correct?

Have you checked that the callers of this function in
fs/cifs/sess.c do the appropriate things with with a
negative return value?

The return value is now set into a struct member variable
as a positive value,

	sess_data->result = rc;

Have you checked all the users of this member variable?

If you have, you should say so in the commit message.

Yes, this is the only case in which the setup_ntlmv2_rsp() function
returns positive error value. In all other error cases it returns the
negative error number.

As far as I can see, this member variable always contains a negative
error value which, in the end, is returned by the CIFS_SessSetup()
function (this function can also return -EINVAL, -ENOMEM, -EOPNOTSUPP,
etc.).

Merged into cifs-2.6.git and added cc: stable
