Instead of returning a generic NULL on error from drm_dp_tunnel_mgr_create(), use error pointers with informative codes. This will also trigger IS_ERR() in current caller (intel_dp_tunnerl_mgr_init()) instead of bypassing it via NULL pointer. v2: use error codes inside drm_dp_tunnel_mgr_create() instead of handling on caller's side (Michal, Imre) Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Karas <krzysztof.karas@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_tunnel.c | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_tunnel.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_tunnel.c index 48b2df120086..90fe07a89260 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_tunnel.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_tunnel.c @@ -1896,8 +1896,8 @@ static void destroy_mgr(struct drm_dp_tunnel_mgr *mgr) * * Creates a DP tunnel manager for @dev. * - * Returns a pointer to the tunnel manager if created successfully or NULL in - * case of an error. + * Returns a pointer to the tunnel manager if created successfully or error + * pointer in case of failure. */ struct drm_dp_tunnel_mgr * drm_dp_tunnel_mgr_create(struct drm_device *dev, int max_group_count) @@ -1907,7 +1907,7 @@ drm_dp_tunnel_mgr_create(struct drm_device *dev, int max_group_count) mgr = kzalloc(sizeof(*mgr), GFP_KERNEL); if (!mgr) - return NULL; + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); mgr->dev = dev; init_waitqueue_head(&mgr->bw_req_queue); @@ -1916,7 +1916,7 @@ drm_dp_tunnel_mgr_create(struct drm_device *dev, int max_group_count) if (!mgr->groups) { kfree(mgr); - return NULL; + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); } #ifdef CONFIG_DRM_DISPLAY_DP_TUNNEL_STATE_DEBUG @@ -1927,7 +1927,7 @@ drm_dp_tunnel_mgr_create(struct drm_device *dev, int max_group_count) if (!init_group(mgr, &mgr->groups[i])) { destroy_mgr(mgr); - return NULL; + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); } mgr->group_count++; -- 2.34.1
