Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/ras: use proper error checking for kthread_run return
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 00:47:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110164800.39203-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)
kthread_run() returns an error pointer on failure, not NULL.
Replace NULL check with IS_ERR and use PTR_ERR to
propagate the real error from kthread_run.
Fixes: ea61341b9014 ("drm/amd/ras: Add thread to handle ras events")
