You won't ever get a page with an error back from read_mapping_page(). And you have the real error in 'page', so why return -EFAUlT, which would indicate a problem copying from the user. Also, this is a great place to use the new folio APIs instead of the old page APIs. So: folio = read_mapping_folio(mapping, fit_start_sector >> PAGE_SECTORS_SHIFT, NULL); if (IS_ERR(folio)) return PTR_ERR(folio); > + init_fit = page_address(page); init_fit = folio_address(folio) + offset_in_folio(folio, fit_start_sector * SECTOR_SIZE); > + if (!init_fit) { > + put_page(page); > + return -EFAULT; > + } page_address() or folio_address() can't ever return NULL, you should just drop this nonsense check. ... actually, why can't you call read_part_sector() and avoid all of this?
