[PATCH v1 1/5] memremap: Check for size parameter

[PATCH v1 1/5] memremap: Check for size parameter

[Andy Shevchenko]

There is no use of memremap() to be called with size = 0.
Simple return NULL pointer and allow callers to drop this check.

[PATCH v1 2/5] dma-mapping: Drop duplicate check for size parameter of memremap()

Since memremap() returns NULL pointer for size = 0, there is no need

This seems convoluted, patch 1/5 states "[t]here is no use of memremap()
to be called with size = 0", which we weren't doing thanks to the check
removed above.  So now we are potentially calling it with zero,
apparently only to take advantage of this new behavior, and we lose the
error granularity that previously such a condition failed with an
-EINVAL and now we fail with an -ENONMEM and cannot distinguish whether
the OpRegion table size was empty or we just weren't able to memremap()
it.  I don't see how this is an improvement.  Thanks,

Alex

Given that this really is an error condition, maybe a WARN_ON_ONCE
would fit here?

It appears some users are using defensive programming and rely simple on error
code. I dunno if they are really expect to have size == 0 in some (non-fatal)
cases.
