[PATCH] net: dsa: loop: Check for memory allocation failure

[Christophe JAILLET]

If 'devm_kzalloc' fails, a NULL pointer will be dereferenced.
Return -ENOMEM instead, as done for some other memory allocation just a
few lines above.

Fixes: 98cd1552ea27 ("net: dsa: Mock-up driver")

I don't think so.  The allocations (dsa_switch_alloc and devm_kzalloc) use
devm functions.

It's at least wasteful.

Each time -EPROBE_DEFER occurs, another set of calls to
dsa_switch_alloc and dev_kzalloc also occurs.

Perhaps it'd be better to do:

	if (ps->netdev) {
		devm_kfree(&devmdev->dev, ps);
		devm_kfree(&mdiodev->dev, ds);
		return -EPROBE_DEFER;
	}

Is EPROBE_DEFER handled differently than other kinds of errors?

In the core device driver model, yes, EPROBE_DEFER is treated
differently than other errors because it puts the driver on a retry queue.

EPROBE_DEFER is already a slow and exceptional path, and this is a
mock-up driver, so I am not sure what value there is in trying to
balance devm_kzalloc() with corresponding devm_kfree()...
