Revision baf76f0c58aec435a3a864075b8f6d8ee5d1f17e authored by Linus Torvalds on 25 April 2019, 23:13:58 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 27 April 2019, 01:19:09 UTC
This way, slhc_free() accepts what slhc_init() returns, whether that is an error or not. In particular, the pattern in sl_alloc_bufs() is slcomp = slhc_init(16, 16); ... slhc_free(slcomp); for the error handling path, and rather than complicate that code, just make it ok to always free what was returned by the init function. That's what the code used to do before commit 4ab42d78e37a ("ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely") when slhc_init() just returned NULL for the error case, with no actual indication of the details of the error.
