Subject: [PATCH 4/4] alpha: Move two assignments for the variable "res" in srm_env_proc_write()
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 12:50:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <986573fa-e636-f864-14dc-5e65a31b454e@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <de76a580-c693-f422-ad78-d87bafd42bf3@users.sourceforge.net>

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 12:08:44 +0100

A local variable was set to an error code in two cases before a concrete
error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignment into
an if branch to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
