From 620727506dc6da0562fa4f6950dedb8a51bd8237 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yan Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 17:15:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: return -ENOMEM when inode allocation failed If proc_get_inode() returns NULL then presumably it encountered memory exhaustion. proc_lookup_de() should return -ENOMEM in this case, not -EINVAL.
