[PATCH V3] drm: handle error values properly

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Wed Jul 18 2018 - 05:19:25 EST


drm_legacy_ctxbitmap_next() returns idr_alloc() which can return
-ENOMEM, -EINVAL or -ENOSPC none of which are -1. since drm_context_t
is an unsigned int an intermediate variable is used to handle the
error cases, and then cast to drm_context_t after ensuring that the
value is >= 0. The explicit cast is to mark the type conversion as
intentional.

V3: bug in patch - omission to remove old code properly - V3 fixes the
original problem as proposed in V2 and drops the excess line.
reported by Sean Paul <seanpaul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> - thanks!

V2: The proposed fix in d530b5f1ca0b ("drm: re-enable error handling")
actually was ineffective as the negative return value check was
against a unsigned int and thus always false as reported by
kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>. The below patch removes that
warning and fixes the original problem of missed error handling.

drm_context_t is actually just used in a few placed so the type could be
changed but it is also exported via tools/include/uapi/drm/drm.h so
changing the typedef of drm_context_t could break applications and thus
this is not an option.

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig

Patch is against 4.18-rc5 (localversion-next is next-20180718)
