Use %pe format string to print return error code which
make the error message easier to understand.

Macro ERR_PTR() is used to convert error codes to pointer type when
returning from a function - I fail to see how doing so in a dev_warn()
context can make the message easier to understand. Can you provide an
example?

Thanks,

Hi,

When dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() fail, the output log will be as following.

format log
%x Trying to continue... fffffffb
%d Trying to continue... -5
%pe Trying to continue... -5 (if CONFIG_SYMBOLIC_ERRNAME is not set)
%pe Trying to continue... -EIO (if CONFIG_SYMBOLIC_ERRNAME=y)

When failing, functions dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() returns -EIO.
Casting that to a (void *) with ERR_PTR() does not change that value.
Since variable @ret is already declared as "int" the real fix is to
change "%x" to "%d".

There're some other drivers do the same thing in the recent kernel, so I think
it's fine to casting the `ret` to a (void *) for more user friendly.
But I suppose it would depend on the maintainer's opinion.

So how about previous patch I sent, which also fix this issue by using %d.

I had not seen Russell's reply in the link you posted above. I am not
completely sure about his solution but his insight and guidance in kernel
programming have precedence over mine.

I will take this patch.

Hi,

Sorry to disturb you.
Is this patch queued?
Just want to make sure it has not been forgotten.
