Actually, panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() will return NULL if there's no
heap pool attached to this VM and create=false, so this was correct.
This being said, I'm fine making that consistent by returning
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of NULL in that case. This way we don't have
two different semantics based on the 'create' value.


Thanks for explaining. I missed the case where create is false and there is no heap pool attached, so panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() can return NULL.

1879  * Return: A valid pointer on success, an ERR_PTR() otherwise.

1881 struct panthor_heap_pool *panthor_vm_get_heap_pool(struct panthor_vm *vm, bool create)

The documentation says it returns ERR_PTR() on failure, so is it worth doing something like:

and change all callers of panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() to only check for IS_ERR() ?


Oh, and please merge everything into a single patch instead of one patch
per call-site.


Sure, I noticed one after the other. I will fix them together in v2.

Thanks,
Harshit
