Subject: [PATCH] scsi_scan: check return code from scsi_sysfs_add_sdev
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b24b1033451fcc87087a692fc47ca45daebd51ac;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PATCH] scsi_scan: check return code from scsi_sysfs_add_sdev

Adds a missing check for an error return code from scsi_sysfs_add_sdev.
This resolves entry #4863 in the OSDL bugzilla.  Although in that bug
report the failure occurred because of a confusion over scanning vs.
rescanning, in general add_sdev can fail for a number of reasons (the
simplest being insufficient memory) and the caller should cope properly.
