dma_buf_map_attachment and dma_buf_vmap can return NULL or ERR_PTR on a error. This encourages a common buggy pattern in callers: sgt = dma_buf_map_attachment(attach, DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL); if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(sgt)) return PTR_ERR(sgt); This causes the caller to return 0 on an error. IS_ERR_OR_NULL is almost always a sign of poorly-defined error handling. This patch converts dma_buf_map_attachment to always return ERR_PTR, and fixes the callers that incorrectly handled NULL. There are a few more callers that were not checking for NULL at all, which would have dereferenced a NULL pointer later. There are also a few more callers that correctly handled NULL and ERR_PTR differently, I left those alone but they could also be modified to delete the NULL check. This patch also converts dma_buf_vmap to always return NULL. All the callers to dma_buf_vmap only check for NULL, and would have dereferenced an ERR_PTR and panic'd if one was ever returned. This is not consistent with the rest of the dma buf APIs, but matches the expectations of all of the callers.
