Subject: [PATCH v2] gpio: merrifield: check the return value of devm_kstrdup()
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2022 15:06:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_A3850F2901FD5B80E831ABE7C27144509C0A@qq.com> (raw)
From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com>
devm_kstrdup() returns pointer to allocated string on success, NULL on
failure. So it is better to check the return value of it.
Before, if devm_kstrdup() fails, pinctrl_dev_name will be NULL, then the
retval below will be a negative error-code(inside gpiochip_add_pin_range(),
pinctrl_find_and_add_gpio_range()->get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname() will
finally check pinctrl_dev_name and return error), so the failure of
devm_kstrdup() can be only implicitly caught after a long call chain.
While this patch is to explicitly catch the failure in time.
> retval = gpiochip_add_pin_range(&priv->chip, pinctrl_dev_name,
> range->gpio_base,
> range->pin_base,
> range->npins);
> if (retval) {
> dev_err(priv->dev, "failed to add GPIO pin range\n");
> return retval;
> }
