[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: shmem: make shmem_get_inode() return ERR_PTR instead of NULL
has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch.  Its filename is
     shmem-make-shmem_get_inode-return-err_ptr-instead-of-null.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/shmem-make-shmem_get_inode-return-err_ptr-instead-of-null.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything
branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there every 2-3 working days

Subject: shmem: make shmem_get_inode() return ERR_PTR instead of NULL
Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2023 15:48:44 +0200

Make shmem_get_inode() return ERR_PTR instead of NULL on error.  This will
be useful later when we introduce quota support.

There should be no functional change.
