Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 081/486] blk-cgroup: improve policy registration error handling
Date: Mon,  5 May 2025 18:32:37 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250505223922.2682012-81-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250505223922.2682012-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Chen Linxuan <chenlinxuan@uniontech.com>

[ Upstream commit e1a0202c6bfda24002a3ae2115154fa90104c649 ]

This patch improve the returned error code of blkcg_policy_register().

1. Move the validation check for cpd/pd_alloc_fn and cpd/pd_free_fn
   function pairs to the start of blkcg_policy_register(). This ensures
   we immediately return -EINVAL if the function pairs are not correctly
   provided, rather than returning -ENOSPC after locking and unlocking
   mutexes unnecessarily.

   Those locks should not contention any problems, as error of policy
   registration is a super cold path.

2. Return -ENOMEM when cpd_alloc_fn() failed.
