Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Clean up error handling in fs/ext4/namei.c

This patch series cleans up the error handling in ext4's namei.c file to
use the ERR_PTR convention intead of using a separate int * to return
the error code.  (This code comes from ext3 and predates the
introduction of the ERR_PTR coding convention).

Theodore Ts'o (6):
  ext4: propagate errors up to ext4_find_entry()'s callers
  ext4: convert ext4_dx_find_entry() to use the ERR_PTR convention
  ext4: change ext4_getblk() to use the ERR_PTR convention
  ext4: convert ext4_bread() to use the ERR_PTR convention
  ext4: convert dx_probe() to use ERR_PTR convention
  ext4: convert do_split() to use ERR_PTR convention
