  [PATCH] samples/vfio-mdev: don't return zero on failure paths in mtty_dev_init() Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@ispras.ru> - 2016-12-30 23:50 +0100

#1548744 — [PATCH] samples/vfio-mdev: don't return zero on failure paths in mtty_dev_init()

If class_create() or mdev_register_device() fail, mtty_dev_init()
breaks off initialization, deallocates all resources, but returns zero.

The patch adds proper error code return values.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
