Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 13/21] vhost_task: fix vhost_task_create() documentation
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 19:52:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429235233.537828-13-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250429235233.537828-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit fec0abf52609c20279243699d08b660c142ce0aa ]
Commit cb380909ae3b ("vhost: return task creation error instead of NULL")
changed the return value of vhost_task_create(), but did not update the
documentation.
Reflect the change in the documentation: on an error, vhost_task_create()
returns an ERR_PTR() and no longer NULL.
