This fix is rather half-and-half.

If we're going to *assume* that an IS_ERR_OR_NULL return from
get_inode() means ENOMEM then there was no point in returning an errno
from get_inode()!  So we can just do this:

--- a/fs/hppfs/hppfs.c~a
+++ a/fs/hppfs/hppfs.c
@@ -683,7 +683,7 @@ static struct inode *get_inode(struct su
 	struct inode *inode = new_inode(sb);
 
 	if (!inode)
-		return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
+		return NULL;
 
 	if (S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode->i_mode)) {
 		inode->i_op = &hppfs_dir_iops;
_


If, however, we want to be able to return other error codes from
get_inode() (which is generally a good idea) then we should change the
callers of get_inode() to use PTR_ERR() and to propagate the error code
upwards.
