Hi ! this is also the wrong version of the patch - the proper version is below. This has been posted to lkml https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/18/191 but there was no review yet - the version you have though is for sure broken. So maybe this should be simply dropped until the fix is confirmed thx! hofrat ----- Forwarded message from gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:11:46 +0200 From: gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: 1531571532-22733-1-git-send-email-hofrat@xxxxxxxxx, alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, hofrat@xxxxxxxxx, seanpaul@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: stable-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Patch "drm: re-enable error handling" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm: re-enable error handling to the 4.4-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: drm-re-enable-error-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory.

Thus reenable error handling by checking for < 0.
