From 62e5c4b4d6351707346695fd9e151b6cda85cbe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 23:28:24 +0300 Subject: slub: fix possible NULL pointer dereference This patch fix possible NULL pointer dereference if kzalloc failed. To be able to return proper error code the function return type is changed to ssize_t (according to callees and sysfs definitions).
