Subject: [PATCH v9 1/3] cxl/region: Simplify poison_by_decoder() error handling
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 13:55:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805055524.22311-2-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805055524.22311-1-icheng@nvidia.com>

"rc" carries both an error code and the loop control
signal for device_for_each_child(), so returning it bare is misleading,
the early guards mean "keep walking", not "no error". Zeroing "rc" to
forgive an -EFAULT on a RAM partition adds to that by discarding what
the device actually returned.

Return a literal 0 where the walk should continue, and test the
forgiven case directly instead of rewriting "rc". Give that test a
name, poison_efault_forgiven(), so cxl_get_poison_unmapped() and
poison_by_decoder() spell the same rule the same way. No functional
change.

Changelog:

v8 -> v9:
    - Add the poison_efault_forgiven() helper and use it in
      cxl_get_poison_unmapped()

v7 -> v8:
    - New patch. Splits the poison_by_decoder() readability cleanup out
      of "cxl/hdm: Allow zero sized HDM decoders" so the functional
      change is not mixed with a refactor of pre-existing code.
