This is doubly wrong - the callers expect malloc to return NULL on failure, second the error function is intended to be used by the decompressors to propagate errors to *their* callers. The decompressors have no access to any state set by the error function. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher LKML-Reference: <4b26b1ef.hIInb2AYPMtImAJO%phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: H.
