Subject: [PATCH master 11/39] efi: loader: fix multiple bugs in efi_loader_bootm
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:44:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216084758.3548990-12-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216084758.3548990-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

Fix several issues:

- ERR_PTR(-efi_errno(ret)) uses 'ret' which is 0 at that point
  instead of 'efiret' which holds the actual error.

- Two return statements (PTR_ERR(fdt) and efi_install_fdt error)
  bypass the 'out:' cleanup label, leaking file_path, load_option,
  and the source sdram region. Replace with goto out.

- efi_set_watchdog() and __efi_start_image() return efi_status_t
  (unsigned long, 64-bit on ARM64) but were stored in 'int ret',
  truncating the value. Use 'efiret' for these calls. Also fix the
  success return path to convert efiret properly.
