It seems like a pretty noisy way to get a (void *) cast :/. Maybe a
function that has the cast but makes sure it's only used for IS_ERR()
pointers?
/* haha, continuing the fine tradition of terrible names in this
api.. */
static inline void *PTR_PTR(void *err_ptr) {
BUG_ON(!IS_ERR(err_ptr) || !err_ptr);
return err_ptr;
}
Meh.
