The functions send_rx_ctrl_cmd() in both liquidio/lio_main.c and liquidio/lio_vf_main.c do not check if the call to octeon_alloc_soft_command() fails and returns a null pointer. Both functions also return void so errors are not propagated back to the caller. Fix these issues by updating both instances of send_rx_ctrl_cmd() to return an integer rather than void, and have them return -ENOMEM if an allocation failure occurs. Also update all callers of send_rx_ctrl_cmd() so that they now check the return value. Cc: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
