From 97db4b9d02a8fc2f06514f10f6b426b97f6f7a0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Senna Tschudin Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 12:10:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/net/ethernet/natsemi/xtsonic.c: fix error return code The function sonic_probe1() return 0 for success and negative value for most of its internal tests failures. There is one exception that is error case going to out:. For this error case, the function abort its success execution path, but returns non negative value, making it difficult for a caller function to notice the error. This patch fixes the error case that do not return negative value. This was found by Coccinelle, but the code change was made by hand. This patch is not robot generated. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Signed-off-by: David S.
