If 'chcr_alloc_shash()' a few lines above fails, 'base_hash' can be an
error pointer when we 'goto out'.
So checking for NULL here is not enough because it is likely that
'chcr_free_shash' will crash if we pass an error pointer.

Another solution, amybe safer, would be to instrument 'chcr_free_shash' or
'crypto_free_shash' to accept an error pointer and return immediatelly in
such a case.

Ah...  Ok.  Fine, but redo the first patch anyway because it shouldn't
ever be NULL.

Hi Dan,

I will update the first patch as you proposed in order to:
    - teach 'chcr_alloc_shash' not to return NULL
    - initialize 'base_hash' with ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
    - update the above test to !IS_ERR.
The 2 patches will be merged in only 1.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Best regards,
CJ

Thanks for pointing the error. or You can simply return instead of
goto. Just like that.

Don't do that.  There should be a goto.

Agreed.

Having direct return after some other gotos statement puzzles my 
coccinelle scripts and are spurious (at least IMHO).
