zsmalloc: zs_malloc: return ERR_PTR on failure
mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.0-rc1 commit c7e6f17b category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I7TWVA CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=c7e6f17b52e9486a9d997368819dfec032b550e2 ------------------------------------------- zs_malloc returns 0 if it fails. zs_zpool_malloc will return -1 when zs_malloc return 0. But -1 makes the return value unclear. For example, when zswap_frontswap_store calls zs_malloc through zs_zpool_malloc, it will return -1 to its caller. The other return value is -EINVAL, -ENODEV or something else. This commit changes zs_malloc to return ERR_PTR on failure. It didn't just let zs_zpool_malloc return -ENOMEM becaue zs_malloc has two types of failure: - size is not OK return -EINVAL - memory alloc fail return -ENOMEM.
