From 5cd401ace914dc68556c6d2fcae0c349444d5f86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 10:57:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/resource: Return real error codes from walk failures walk_system_ram_range() can return an error code either becuase *it* failed, or because the 'func' that it calls returned an error. The memory hotplug does the following: ret = walk_system_ram_range(..., func); if (ret) return ret; and 'ret' makes it out to userspace, eventually. The problem s, walk_system_ram_range() failues that result from *it* failing (as opposed to 'func') return -1. That leads to a very odd -EPERM (-1) return code out to userspace. Make walk_system_ram_range() return -EINVAL for internal failures to keep userspace less confused. This return code is compatible with all the callers that I audited.
