[PATCH 1/1] infiniband: hw: mlx4: fix improper return value

From: Pan Bian
Date: Sun Dec 04 2016 - 00:49:28 EST


From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

If uhw->inlen is non-zero, the value of variable err is 0 if the copy
succeeds. Then, if kzalloc() or kmalloc() returns a NULL pointer, it
will return 0 to the callers. As a result, the callers cannot detect the
errors. This patch fixes the bug, assigning "-ENOMEM" to err before
the NULL pointer checks.
