This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: android: ion: Return an ERR_PTR in ion_map_kernel
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: android: ion: Return an ERR_PTR in ion_map_kernel
The expected return value from ion_map_kernel is an ERR_PTR. The error
path for a vmalloc failure currently just returns NULL, triggering
a warning in ion_buffer_kmap_get. Encode the vmalloc failure as an ERR_PTR.
