Sorry, this fell through the cracks. I think it'd be better if
tegra_bo_mmap() were to be improved to always return either an ERR_PTR()
encoded error code or a valid pointer. Throwing NULL into the mix isn't
useful because it typically means something like -ENOMEM anyway. Error
codes are more explicit, so since we're already using them for some
cases, might as well return them for all.

Actually, looks like tegra_bo_mmap() never actually returns an ERR_PTR()
encoded error code. It's either obj->vaddr, the return value of vmap()
(which is either NULL or the address of the mapping), or the address
obtained from dma_buf_vmap_unlocked() (i.e. map.vaddr) or NULL on
failure. So I think it would equally make sense to keep your patch and
to remove the IS_ERR() check below it.

I would slightly prefer the first option, but either is fine.
How about the attached patch?


I also prefer the prefer the first option.
The attached patch is more better, because it solve the problem at lower level.
