The return value of kcalloc() needs to be checked.
To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc,
such as efx_fini_rx_recycle_ring().
Therefore, it should be better to change the definition of page_ptr_mask
to signed int and then assign the page_ptr_mask to -1 when page_ring is
NULL, in order to avoid the use in the loop.

Fixes: 5a6681e22c14 ("sfc: separate out SFC4000 ("Falcon") support into new sfc-falcon driver")

Changelog:

v3 -> v4

*Change 1. Casade return -ENOMEM when alloc fails and deal with the
error.
*Change 2. Set size to -1 instead of return error.
*Change 3. Change the Fixes tag.

Maybe my previous reply against v2 crossed with your later versions.

Your predicate is wrong. The code that uses rx_queue->page_ring
can deal with it being NULL.
The only thing you might want to do is set rx_queue->page_ptr_mask
to 0.
It is a mask, never use a signed value for it.
