Subject: [PATCH -next] ocxl: Fix return value check in afu_ioctl()
Date:   Sat, 4 May 2019 07:04:30 +0000

Precedence: bulk

In case of error, the function eventfd_ctx_fdget() returns ERR_PTR() and
never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should be
replaced with IS_ERR().

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Fixes: 060146614643 ("ocxl: move event_fd handling to frontend")
