Subject: [PATCH 1/5] mm/resource: return real error codes from walk failures
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 10:57:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190225185730.D8AA7812@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190225185727.BCBD768C@viggo.jf.intel.com>


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

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.

This changes both the generic mm/ and powerpc-specific
implementations to have the same return value.
