This leaves a freed pointer in "dgnc_Board[dgnc_NumBoards]" which is
sort of ugly. It doesn't free "brd->msgbuf_head" which is a bug.
Please read my essay on error hanling:
https://plus.google.com/106378716002406849458
What we want is :
ret = do_one();
if (ret)
return ret;
ret = do_two();
if (ret)
goto undo_one;
ret = do_three();
if (ret)
goto undo_two;
return 0;
err_undo_two:
undo_two();
err_undo_one:
undo_one();
return ret;
Basically, a list of commands and a mirror list of undos. This is
standard kernel style and the error handling basically writes itself
automatically.
