From 03ef56495f0be2aa8221b883e26b6add832da93e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 12:18:41 +0200 Subject: err.h: use __always_inline on all error pointer helpers commit 94bfc7f3b0c7c33331ba4ff6cc64ff309dfcbce8 upstream. While testing randconfig builds on s390, I came across a link failure with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled: ERROR: modpost: "dma_buf_put" [drivers/iommu/iommufd/iommufd.ko] undefined! The problem here is that IS_ERR() is not inlined and dead code elimination fails as a consequence. The err.h helpers all turn into a trivial assignment of a bit mask and should never result in a function call, so force them to always be inline. This should generally result in better object code aside from avoiding the link failure above.
