Smatch prints a static checker warning for this, but I never finished
going through the backlog of old "missing error code" warnings. At one
point I was down to 38 warnings left but now I see that the backlog is
62 warnings so people are adding new bugs faster than I'm reviewing
them... :P
I will take care of this tomorrow as a separate patch. I will just
report or the other 61 warnings and get the backlog cleared out so that
I can start checking these better in the future.
regards,
dan carpenter
