rdt_find_domain() returns an ERR_PTR() that is generated from a provided domain id when the value is negative. Care needs to be taken when creating an ERR_PTR() from this value because a subsequent check using IS_ERR() expects the error to be within the MAX_ERRNO range. Using an invalid domain id as an ERR_PTR() does work at this time since this is currently always -1. Using this undocumented assumption is fragile since future users of rdt_find_domain() may not be aware of thus assumption. Two related issues are addressed: - Ensure that rdt_find_domain() always returns a valid error value by forcing the error to be -ENODEV when a negative domain id is provided. - In a few instances the return value of rdt_find_domain() is just checked for NULL - fix these to include a check of ERR_PTR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
