[PATCH] mm/slab: make __free(kfree) accept error pointers

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Sun Apr 28 2024 - 10:26:57 EST


Currently, if an automatically freed allocation is an error pointer that
will lead to a crash. An example of this is in wm831x_gpio_dbg_show().

171 char *label __free(kfree) = gpiochip_dup_line_label(chip, i);
172 if (IS_ERR(label)) {
173 dev_err(wm831x->dev, "Failed to duplicate label\n");
174 continue;
175 }

The auto clean up function should check for error pointers as well,
otherwise we're going to keep hitting issues like this.

Obviously, the fixes tag isn't very fair but it will tell the -stable
tools how far to backport this.
