    Subject[PATCH 0/6] Sanity checks for ERR_PTR argument
    Date
    This little patchset adds sanity checks to ERR_PTR.

    [PATCH 1/6] ERR_PTR: if errno value is known at compile time, make sure it's valid
    [PATCH 2/6] ERR_PTR: add ERR_OR_0_PTR
    [PATCH 3/6] vfs: open_exec cleanup
    [PATCH 4/6] procfs: switch ERR_PTR to ERR_OR_0_PTR when "error" might be 0
    [PATCH 5/6] vfs: fix ERR_PTR abuse in generic_readlink
    [PATCH 6/6] ERR_PTR: warn when ERR_PTR parameter is not errno value

    The most important are patches 1 and 6. 2nd patch adds another ERR_PTR-like helper.
    The rest (3-5) fix false positives found by 6th patch.
