Kernel test robot, reported a sparse error with the patch The sparse report states: >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_dmem.c:259:13: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) @@ expected restricted vm_fault_t [assigned] [usertype] ret @@ got int @@ drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_dmem.c:259:13: sparse: expected restricted vm_fault_t [assigned] [usertype] ret drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_dmem.c:259:13: sparse: got int ret of type vm_fault_t is reused to capture the return value of nouveau_dmem_copy_folio(), which returns an int. Use a new variable err (of type int) to get the return value from the function to fix the reported issue. The reported issue is not new, prior to this, the function called nouveau_dmem_copy_folio() was called nouveau_dmem_copy_one() and ret was used to capture it's return value. The reported issue also does not cause any runtime errors. The return value from the function is used as a boolean value, to check if nouveau_dmem_copy_folio() succeeded or failed.
