Subject: [patch] dm cache: fix up IS_ERR vs NULL confusion
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 09:46:09 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150128064609.GD30893@mwanda> (raw)
It used to be that this code used ERR_PTRs consistently, but a recent
change mixed it up. The code sometimes returns NULL, sometimes an
ERR_PTR, some code assumes everything is an ERR_PTR and some assumes it
returns NULL on error. I've changed it back so that now everything is
an ERR_PTR again.
These new bugs were caught by static checking:
drivers/md/dm-cache-target.c:2409 cache_create() warn: 'cmd' isn't an ERR_PTR
drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c:754 lookup_or_open() error: 'cmd' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c:757 lookup_or_open() error: 'cmd' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
I also reversed some tests for failure so that it was more clear and had
fewer indent levels.
Fixes: 9b1cc9f251af ('dm cache: share cache-metadata object across inactive and active DM tables')

The one question I have is that I made dm_cache_metadata_open() either
preserve the error code or return -EINVAL. I haven't tested this so I
guess review carefully. This patch should probably be back ported to
stable or folded into Joe's.
