From 0755e74b8f04d17cea09fa342a788025b2b50e2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 17:10:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: Fix uninintialized error return Static analysis with cppcheck found the following error: [sound/core/init.c:118]: (error) Uninitialized variable: err ..this was introduced by commit 2471b6c80a70e80de69f5ff4c37187c3912e5874 ("ALSA: info: Register proc entries recursively, too") where the call to snd_info_card_register was removed and no longer setting the error return in err. When snd_info_create_card_entry fails to allocate a an entry, the error path exits with garbage in err. Fix is to return -ENOMEM if entry fails to be allocated.
