[PATCH 3.18 02/23] staging: android: ion: Return an ERR_PTR in ion_map_kernel

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 10 2018 - 14:25:52 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0a2bc00341dcfcc793c0dbf4f8d43adf60458b05 upstream.

The expected return value from ion_map_kernel is an ERR_PTR. The error
path for a vmalloc failure currently just returns NULL, triggering
a warning in ion_buffer_kmap_get. Encode the vmalloc failure as an ERR_PTR.
