4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 728354c005c36eaf44b6e5552372b67e60d17f56 upstream. The function was unconditionally returning 0, and a caller would have to rely on the returned fence pointer being NULL to detect errors. However, the function vmw_execbuf_copy_fence_user() would expect a non-zero error code in that case and would BUG otherwise. So make sure we return a proper non-zero error code if the fence pointer returned is NULL.
