2013-07-04err.h: IS_ERR() can accept __user pointersDan Carpenter1-5/+5
Sparse generates a false positive when you pass a __user or __iomem pointer to the IS_ERR() functions. drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: expected void const *ptr drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: got unsigned int [noderef] [usertype] <asn:2>*rtcregs We can silence these by adding a __force here and upgrading to Sparse v0.4.5-rc1 or later. This change has no effect when using current Sparse releases.

2011-03-23include/linux/err.h: add a function to cast error-pointers to a return valueUwe Kleine-König1-0/+8
PTR_RET() can be used if you have an error-pointer and are only interested in the eventual error value, but not the pointer. Yields the usual 0 for no error, -ESOMETHING otherwise.

2010-05-25err.h: add __must_check to error pointer handlersJani Nikula1-5/+5
Add __must_check to error pointer handlers to have the compiler warn about mistakes like: if (err) ERR_PTR(err); It found two bugs: Mar 12 Nikula Jani [PATCH] enclosure: fix error path - actually return ERR_PTR() on error Mar 12 Nikula Jani [PATCH] sunrpc: fix error path - actually return ERR_PTR() on error Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <ext-jani.1.nikula@nokia.com> Cc: Phil Carmody <ext-phil.2.carmody@nokia.com> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-12-15err.h: add helper function to simplify pointer error checkingPhil Carmody1-0/+5
There are quite a few instances in the kernel of checks of pointers both against NULL and against the errno range, handling both cases identically. This additional helper function would simplify such code.

2008-02-07Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.David Howells1-0/+13
Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co. for the purposes of casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another pointer type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on. This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.

2006-09-27[PATCH] consistently use MAX_ERRNO in __syscall_returnRandy Dunlap1-0/+4

2006-07-01[PATCH] Fix IS_ERR Threshold ValueRalf Baechle1-1/+3
o Raise the maximum error number in IS_ERR_VALUE to 4095. o Make that number available as a new constant MAX_ERRNO. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-20Fix get_unmapped_area sanity testsLinus Torvalds1-1/+3
As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area() slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.
2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+31
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
