That's really quite unpleasant syntax. Is it not possible to have mem_to_flex_dup() and friends work without that? You are telling them the fields they have to fill in. > + struct afs_acl *acl = NULL; > > - acl = kmalloc(sizeof(*acl) + size, GFP_KERNEL); > - if (!acl) { > + if (mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL)) { Please don't do that. Either do: acl = mem_to_flex_dup(buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!acl) or: acl = mem_to_flex_dup(buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); if (IS_ERR(acl)) Please especially don't make it that an apparent 'true' return indicates an error. If you absolutely must return the acl pointer through the argument list (presumably because it's actually a macro), make it return false on failure: if (!mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL)) or return and explicitly check for an error code: if (mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) or: ret = mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); if (ret < 0) (or use != 0 rather than < 0) David
