Not your fault but this assignment to 'r' seem to be redundant: it is
already set to '-ENOMEM' above, but this is also not perfect as ...

... '-ENOMEM' is actually the only possible outcome here. In case you'll
be re-submitting, I'd suggest we drop 'r' entirely and just reture
-ENOMEM here.

Anyways, your patch seems to be correct, so:
