[PATCH 4.4 052/342] devm_memremap: Fix error value when memremap failed

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

commit 93f834df9c2d4e362dfdc4b05daa0a4e18814836 upstream.

devm_memremap() returns an ERR_PTR() value in case of error.
However, it returns NULL when memremap() failed.  This causes
the caller, such as the pmem driver, to proceed and oops later.

Change devm_memremap() to return ERR_PTR(-ENXIO) when memremap()
failed.
