In virtio_gpu_object_shmem_init() we are passing NULL to PTR_ERR, which is returning 0/success. Fix this by storing error value in 'ret' variable before assigning shmem->pages to NULL. Found using static analysis with Smatch. Fixes: 64b88afbd92f ("drm/virtio: Correct drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table() error handling") Signed-off-by: Harshit Mogalapalli <harshit.m.mogalapalli@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Only compile tested. Upstream commit b5c9ed70d1a9 ("drm/virtio: Improve DMA API usage for shmem BOs") deleted this code, so this patch is not necessary in linux-6.1.y and linux-6.2.y. --- drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c index 7e75fb0fc7bd..25d399b00404 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c @@ -169,8 +169,9 @@ static int virtio_gpu_object_shmem_init(struct virtio_gpu_device *vgdev, shmem->pages = drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table(&bo->base); if (IS_ERR(shmem->pages)) { drm_gem_shmem_unpin(&bo->base); + ret = PTR_ERR(shmem->pages); shmem->pages = NULL; - return PTR_ERR(shmem->pages); + return ret; } if (use_dma_api) { -- 2.31.1
