[PATCH v2] staging: dgnc: check if kzalloc fails in dgnc_tty_init()

From: Giedrius StatkeviÄius
Date: Tue Apr 07 2015 - 08:42:39 EST


If one of the allocations of memory for storing a channel information struct
fails then free all the successful allocations and return -ENOMEM that gets
propogated to the pci layer. Also, remove a bogus skipping in the next part of
the initiation if a previous memory allocation failed because we won't execute
that if any of the allocations failed.

v2: Only returning -ENOMEM if an allocation failed isn't enough as it was
spotted by Sudip so create a new label that frees all successfully allocated
stuff and only then returns -ENOMEM. Also, remove a unnecessary check in the
next loop.
