[PATCH V2] x86/resctrl: Fix rdt_find_domain() return value and checks

From: Reinette Chatre
Date: Mon Dec 10 2018 - 17:32:01 EST


rdt_find_domain() returns an ERR_PTR() that is generated from a provided
domain id when the value is negative.

Care needs to be taken when creating an ERR_PTR() from this value because
a subsequent check using IS_ERR() expects the error to be within the
MAX_ERRNO range. By using an invalid domain id as an ERR_PTR() does
work at this time since this is currently always -1. Using this
undocumented assumption is fragile since future users of
rdt_find_domain() may not be aware of thus assumption.

Two related issues are addressed:
- Ensure that rdt_find_domain() always returns a valid error value by
forcing the error to be -ENODEV when a negative domain id is provided.
- In a few instances the return value of rdt_find_domain() is just checked
for NULL - fix these to include a check of ERR_PTR.

Fixes: d89b7379015f ("x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add mon_data")
Fixes: 521348b011d6 ("x86/intel_rdt: Introduce utility to obtain CDP peer")

V2:
- Force error value to be -ENODEV when negative domain id provided
- Rewrite commit message to describe why error value needs to be forced in
addition to the original fix
