2009-12-15err.h: add helper function to simplify pointer error checkingPhil Carmody
There are quite a few instances in the kernel of checks of pointers both against NULL and against the errno range, handling both cases identically. This additional helper function would simplify such code. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Phil Carmody <ext-phil.2.carmody@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-02-07Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.David Howells
Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co. for the purposes of casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another pointer type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on. This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.

2006-07-01[PATCH] Fix IS_ERR Threshold ValueRalf Baechle
o Raise the maximum error number in IS_ERR_VALUE to 4095. o Make that number available as a new constant MAX_ERRNO. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-19Fix get_unmapped_area sanity testsLinus Torvalds
As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area() slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
