You have trailing whitespace. Please run your patches through scripts/checkpatch.pl. > + "SLEEP_CFM: dev_alloc_skb failed\n"); > + return -ENOMEM; It's not exactly a problem with your patch, but nobody really checks the return status of this function. I think in most (all?) cases, that's probably OK, because we also implicitly communicate the success/failure of this function by modifying the ->ps_state field (basically, a state machine). So this is probably OK.
