> Subject: [PATCH -next] ocxl: Fix return value check in afu_ioctl()
>
> In case of error, the function eventfd_ctx_fdget() returns ERR_PTR() and
> never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should be
> replaced with IS_ERR().
>
> This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
