Subject: Re: [PATCH] dma-buf: return -EINVAL if dmabuf object is
NULL
[External]
To be honest I think the if(WARN_ON(!dmabuf)) return -EINVAL
handling
here is misleading in the first place.
Returning -EINVAL on a hard coding error is not good practice and
should
probably be removed from the DMA-buf subsystem in general.
Would you say to just return 0 then? I don't think that having the
dereference is also good..
No, just run into the dereference.
Passing NULL as the core object you are working on is a hard coding
error and not something we should bubble up as recoverable error.
I used -EINVAL to be coherent with the rest of the code.
I rather suggest to remove the check elsewhere as well.

On top of warning about a NULL object, we also want to return with a
proper error code (as done in 'dma_buf_begin_cpu_access()').
Otherwise,
we will get a NULL pointer dereference.
