Before 98f4c651762c, we returned zeros for unopened channels.
With 98f4c651762c, we started to return random on-stack values.
We'd better return -EINVAL instead.
Fixes: 98f4c651762c ("hv: move ringbuffer bus attributes to dev_groups")

The concept looks fine, but maybe it would be simpler to move it into
hv_ringbuffer_get_debuginfo and have it return an error code.
Since so much of the code is repeated, I would probably make a
macro which generates the code as well.
Something like this:

Thanks, Stephen! Now the patch has been in char-misc's char-misc-linus
branch, so IMO we may as well leave it as is (considering the code here is
unlikely to be frqeuencly changed), and we have a smaller patch this way. :-)
But, yes, I agree with you that generally we should make a common
function to avoid duplicate code.
Thanks,

The old code was risky because it would silently return stack garbage.
Having an error check in get_debuginfo would eliminate that.

OK, then let me make another patch based on the latest char-misc-linus.

Hi Stephen, your patch can apply cleanly. Let me rebase your patch to
char-misc-linus, do a test, and then post it with your Signed-off-by and mine:
I assume you're Ok with this. Please let me know in case it's not. :-)
Thanks,
