I'm perfectly fine with updating/fixing shared code (did that before, have few more ideas on my todo-list) but in this case I'm not so sure -Michal > -Daniel > >> >> -Michal >> >> [1] >> https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-tip/commit/?id=57f5677e535ba24b8926a7125be2ef8d7f09323c >> >>> >>> With that: Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> >>>> return err; >>>> } >>>> >>>> @@ -195,8 +195,8 @@ static int ct_deregister_buffer(struct intel_guc_ct *ct, u32 type) >>>> int err = guc_action_deregister_ct_buffer(ct_to_guc(ct), type); >>>> >>>> if (unlikely(err)) >>>> - CT_ERROR(ct, "Failed to deregister %s buffer (err=%d)\n", >>>> - guc_ct_buffer_type_to_str(type), err); >>>> + CT_ERROR(ct, "Failed to deregister %s buffer (%pe)\n", >>>> + guc_ct_buffer_type_to_str(type), ERR_PTR(err)); >>>> return err; >>>> } >>>> >>>> -- >>>> 2.25.1 >>>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> Intel-gfx mailing list >>>> Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>>> https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx >>> > > >
