This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: android: ion: Return an ERR_PTR in ion_map_kernel

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The expected return value from ion_map_kernel is an ERR_PTR. The error path for a vmalloc failure currently just returns NULL, triggering a warning in ion_buffer_kmap_get. Encode the vmalloc failure as an ERR_PTR.
