From: Arkadiusz Kubalewski <arkadiusz.kubalewski@xxxxxxxxx> commit 12738ac4754ec92a6a45bf3677d8da780a1412b3 upstream. Remove error handling through pointers. Instead use plain int to return value from i40e_run_xdp(...). Previously: - sparse errors were produced during compilation: i40e_txrx.c:2338 i40e_run_xdp() error: (-2147483647) too low for ERR_PTR i40e_txrx.c:2558 i40e_clean_rx_irq() error: 'skb' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() - sk_buff* was used to return value, but it has never had valid pointer to sk_buff. Returned value was always int handled as a pointer.
