[PATCH] staging: axis-fifo: Fix three real issues
From: Breno Rodrigues Alves
Date: Thu Oct 22 2026 - 17:59:44 EST
Fix three issues in the Xilinx AXI-Stream FIFO driver:
1. axis_fifo_debugfs_init() did not check the return value of
debugfs_create_dir(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, the function
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); passing it as a parent to
debugfs_create_file() triggers a WARN in the kernel debugfs
core. Bail out early if the directory was not created.
2. axis_fifo_read() returned -EINVAL when the user buffer was
smaller than the available data. The user argument is not
invalid - it is just too small - so return -ENOBUFS, which is
the canonical errno for that situation (see recv(2)).
3. axis_fifo_probe() filled in a 'struct resource *r_mem' pointer
that is never read. Pass NULL instead.
No functional change for the normal path.
