This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled IB/rdmavt: Always return ERR_PTR from rvt_create_mmap_info() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ib-rdmavt-always-return-err_ptr-from-rvt_create_mmap_info.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 47c370c1a5eea9b2f6f026d49e060c3748c89667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 18:31:46 +0100 Subject: IB/rdmavt: Always return ERR_PTR from rvt_create_mmap_info() From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx> commit 47c370c1a5eea9b2f6f026d49e060c3748c89667 upstream. The commit below modified rvt_create_mmap_info() to return ERR_PTR's but didn't update the callers to handle them. Modify rvt_create_mmap_info() to only return ERR_PTR and fix all error checking after rvt_create_mmap_info() was called.
