I think this is what PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() is for.

Not quite. PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO is intended for the case where you are
extracting an error from a pointer. This is converting an error into a
pointer.

I am not sure what is really expected here. If res is zero, shouldn't we
be returning an skb pointer and not NULL?

Why does igc_xdp_run_prog even return a sk_buff pointer at all? It never
actually returns an skb...

This feels like the wrong fix entirely.

__igc_xdp_run_prog returns a custom value for the action, between
IGC_XDP_PASS, IGC_XDP_TX, IGC_XDP_REDIRECT, or IGC_XDP_CONSUMED.

This function is called by igc_xdp_run_prog which converts this to a
negative error code with the sk_buff pointer type.

All so that we can assign a value to the skb pointer in
ice_clean_rx_irq, and check it with IS_ERR

I don't like this fix, I think we could drop the igc_xdp_run_prog
wrapper, call __igc_xdp_run_prog directly and check its return value
instead of this method of using an error pointer.

Indeed, this SKB error stuff was added by 26575105d6ed ("igc: Add
initial XDP support") which claims to be aligning with other Intel drivers.

But the other Intel drivers just have a function that returns the xdp
result and checks it directly.

Perhaps this is due to the way that the igc driver shares rings between
XDP and the regular path?

Its not clear to me, but I think this fix is not what I would do.

Thanks for review,maybe can fix this as commit 12738ac4754e ("i40e: Fix sparse errors in i40e_txrx.c")?

Yes please get rid of this logic. Historically speaking, i40e started this
and other drivers followed, but I chose in ice implementation to avoid
that :)

Kurt, if you'll be sending next revision for igb xsk support, then avoid
the logic we talk about here as well, please.

Yes, silly me.

Right. I think the whole point of the cited warning is that it highlights
code that is often buggy. I think I may have tried to address it in the
past, but if so unsuccessfully. In any case, I do think it would be good to
dig into this and either fix it properly (or understand why it is correct
and note that somewhere.

Right. I think we identified the correct fix. This same code was in i40e
and was removed in a better way.
