netfilter: nfnetlink_log: fix error return code in init path

JuliaLawall · ummakynes · commit 6fc09f10f124 · 2012-08-30T03:29:58.000+02:00
Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
