Given that PTR_ERR, IS_ERR, and IS_ERR_OR_NULL currently accept any kind of pointer (by using __force), it does make sense for ERR_PTR to return any kind of pointer. There's no built-in way to do this, but we could add an ERR_PTR_iomem that has the appropriate return type. Here's a possible patch; please test in your particular use case and see if it works for you. (You can apply this patch from this mail via git am --scissors.) ---8<--- From: Josh Triplett Subject: [PATCH] linux/err.h: Provide an ERR_PTR_IO that returns an __iomem pointer PTR_ERR, IS_ERR, and IS_ERR_OR_NULL already accept any type of pointer by using __force; ERR_PTR should similarly be able to return any type of pointer. Provide an ERR_PTR_IO to return an error pointer in __iomem.
