Static source code analysis points out that the checking of return values from some function calls is incomplete also in this software area. How would you like to fix remaining open issues there?

Without understanding the details on which failures,

Are you using any dedicated tools for this purpose already?

it would be hard for me comment on how to handle them.

I inspected also another specific source file for example. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/too... https://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.14-rc8/source/tools/testing/selft...

This one contains some places (like in the function “check_itimer”) where the error detection and corresponding exception handling is incomplete so far. Other source files can contain similar update candidates.

There are different design options available to improve the software situation here. Which development directions do you prefer?
