From b14b9d25a3c707c85e7e31e15766a71365b52ab7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 10:59:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dma-mapping: return an error code from dma_mapping_error Currently dma_mapping_error returns a boolean as int, with 1 meaning error. This is rather unusual and many callers have to convert it to errno value. The callers are highly inconsistent with error codes ranging from -ENOMEM over -EIO, -EINVAL and -EFAULT ranging to -EAGAIN. Return -ENOMEM which seems to be what the largest number of callers convert it to, and which also matches the typical error case where we are out of resources.
