The vc4_create_object() needs to return NULL on error, not error pointers. If it returns an error pointer then that will lead to an Oops in the callers. Fortunately, in current kernels small allocations always succed so this will never happen.

I sent this patch last June but it was never applied.

• return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
  

• return NULL;
  

This change looks right to me. For reference, the code that calls it looks like this:

if (drm->driver->gem_create_object) gem_obj = drm->driver->gem_create_object(drm, size); /* … */ if (!gem_obj) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
