Subject: [PATCH 2/8] tty: fix return value for unsupported ioctls
Date: Wed,  7 Apr 2021 11:52:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210407095208.31838-3-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210407095208.31838-1-johan@kernel.org>

Drivers should return -ENOTTY ("Inappropriate I/O control operation")
when an ioctl isn't supported, while -EINVAL is used for invalid
arguments.

Fix up the TIOCMGET, TIOCMSET and TIOCGICOUNT helpers which returned
-EINVAL when a tty driver did not implement the corresponding
operations.

Note that the TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET helpers predate git and do not get a
corresponding Fixes tag below.

Fixes: d281da7ff6f7 ("tty: Make tiocgicount a handler")
