In brcmf_usb_dl_cmd(), the error logging is not enough to describe the error state. And some caller of the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() does not haddel its error. An error log in brcmf_usb_dl_cmd is needed to prevent silent failure. Add error handling in brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() to log the command id and error code in the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails. In this way, every invocation of the function logs a message upon failure. Signed-off-by: Wentao Liang <vulab@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- v3: Change patch name and comment. Move error log into brcmf_usb_dl_cmd(). v2: Remove redundant bailing out code. .../wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/usb.c | 16 ++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/usb.c b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/usb.c index d06c724f63d9..a11a6d9f3c2b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/usb.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/usb.c @@ -744,12 +744,16 @@ static int brcmf_usb_dl_cmd(struct brcmf_usbdev_info *devinfo, u8 cmd, char *tmpbuf; u16 size; - if ((!devinfo) || (devinfo->ctl_urb == NULL)) - return -EINVAL; + if (!devinfo || !devinfo->ctl_urb) { + ret = -EINVAL; + goto err; + } tmpbuf = kmalloc(buflen, GFP_ATOMIC); - if (!tmpbuf) - return -ENOMEM; + if (!tmpbuf) { + ret = -ENOMEM; + goto err; + } size = buflen; devinfo->ctl_urb->transfer_buffer_length = size; @@ -783,6 +787,10 @@ static int brcmf_usb_dl_cmd(struct brcmf_usbdev_info *devinfo, u8 cmd, finalize: kfree(tmpbuf); return ret; + +err: + brcmf_err("dl cmd %u failed: err=%d\n", cmd, ret); + return ret; } static bool -- 2.42.0.windows.2
