From 8f6040cebd2382a5cfb201419d40e7a4a193a412 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pan Bian Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 23:02:27 +0800 Subject: cpuidle: fix improper return value on error In function cpuidle_add_state_sysfs(), variable ret takes the return value. Its value should be negative on errors. Because ret is reset in the loop, its value will be 0 during the second and after repeat of the loop. If kzalloc() returns a NULL pointer then, it will return 0. It may be better to explicitly assign "-ENOMEM" when the call to kzalloc() fails.
