Subject: [PATCH v2] xen/arm: kernel: Propagate the error if we fail to decompress the kernel
Date: Tue,  6 Apr 2021 20:15:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210406191554.12012-1-julien@xen.org> (raw)

From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>

Currently, we are ignoring any error from perform_gunzip() and replacing
the compressed kernel with the "uncompressed" kernel.

If there is a gzip failure, then it means that the output buffer may
contain garbagge. So it can result to various sort of behavior that may
be difficult to root cause.

In case of failure, free the output buffer and propagate the error.
We also need to adjust the return check for kernel_compress() as
perform_gunzip() may return a positive value.

Take the opportunity to adjust the code style for the check.
