Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf probe: Propagate error code when write(2) failed
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2015 19:33:48 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1420886028-15135-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1420886028-15135-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org>

When it failed to write probe commands to the probe_event file in
debugfs, it needs to propagate the error code properly.  Current code
blindly uses the return value of the write(2) so it always uses
-1 (-EPERM) and it might confuse users.
