Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drivers/misc/sgi-gru: fix return of error
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 15:48:19 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442830699-20562-4-git-send-email-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1442830699-20562-1-git-send-email-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com>

If kzalloc() fails then gms is NULL and we are returning NULL, but the
functions which called this function gru_register_mmu_notifier() are not
expecting NULL as the return. They are expecting either a valid pointer
or the error code in ERR_PTR.

Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <sudip@vectorindia.org>

The patch at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/6394911/ is not applied
and not relevant now as gms is checked before gru_dbg. But the idea for
this patch was obtained from that one.
