Subject: [PATCH] devm_memremap: Fix error value when memremap failed
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 18:40:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454722827-15744-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.com> (raw)
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.
