Subject: RE: [PATCH] infiniband:Fix error handling in the function
 cm_init_av_by_path

> This fixes error handling in the function cm_init_av_by_path
> to properly check if the internal call to the function
> ib_init_ah_from_path has failed by returning a error code and
> if so return immediately to the caller with this error code in
> order to signal/allow the caller to handle the error in its own
> intended error paths.
