Still silly, that label is useless then. Pasting the whole, simplified
function below.

It looks like it all boils down to propagating the retval up the chain...

static efi_status_t allocate_e820(struct boot_params *params,
struct efi_boot_memmap *map,
struct setup_data **e820ext,
u32 *e820ext_size)
{
efi_status_t status;
__u32 nr_desc;

status = efi_get_memory_map(map);
if (status != EFI_SUCCESS)
return status;

nr_desc = *map->map_size / *map->desc_size;
if (nr_desc > ARRAY_SIZE(params->e820_table) - EFI_MMAP_NR_SLACK_SLOTS) {
u32 nr_e820ext = nr_desc - ARRAY_SIZE(params->e820_table) + EFI_MMAP_NR_SLACK_SLOTS;

status = alloc_e820ext(nr_e820ext, e820ext, e820ext_size);
}

efi_bs_call(free_pool, *map->map);
return status;
}
