It could lead to error happen because the variable res is not updated if the call to sr_share_read_word returns an error. In this particular case error code was returned and res stayed uninitialized. Same issue also applies to sr_read_reg. This can be avoided by checking the return value of sr_share_read_word and sr_read_reg, and propagating the error if the read operation failed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
