<br>
I am new to the realm of linux kernel development. I've been sending in small patches to fix check-patch warnings. I was fixing up the file listed in the subject when I came across this warning.<br>
<br>
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/p80211conv.c:622: WARNING: Possible unnecessary 'out of memory' message<br>
<br>
Source Code:<br>
<br>
if (rxmeta == NULL) {<br>
netdev_err(wlandev->netdev,<br>
"%s: Failed to allocate rxmeta.\n", wlandev->name);<br>
result = 1;<br>
goto exit;<br>
}<br>
<br>
What is this warning about? How do I go about fixing it?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
--Gavin</div>
