From 752417b3f0e7721f1d630f40da22d57e0dae043e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Van Asbroeck Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2023 18:48:14 +0900 Subject: rust: error: Add a helper to convert a C ERR_PTR to a `Result` Some kernel C API functions return a pointer which embeds an optional `errno`. Callers are supposed to check the returned pointer with `IS_ERR()` and if this returns `true`, retrieve the `errno` using `PTR_ERR()`. Create a Rust helper function to implement the Rust equivalent: transform a `*mut T` to `Result<*mut T>`. Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/linux, with subsequent refactoring and contributions squashed in and attributed below. Renamed the function to from_err_ptr().
