Subject: [PATCH 4.19 70/72] futex: Update comments and docs about return values of arch futex code
Date: Tue,  2 Jul 2019 10:02:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190702080128.275446262@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190702080124.564652899@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

commit 427503519739e779c0db8afe876c1b33f3ac60ae upstream.

The architecture implementations of 'arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()' and
'futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()' are permitted to return only -EFAULT,
-EAGAIN or -ENOSYS in the case of failure.

Update the comments in the asm-generic/ implementation and also a stray
reference in the robust futex documentation.
