[PATCH] KVM: Get rid of return value from kvm_arch_create_vm_debugfs()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The general expectation with debugfs is that any initialization failure
is nonfatal. Nevertheless, kvm_arch_create_vm_debugfs() allows
implementations to return an error and kvm_create_vm_debugfs() allows
that to fail VM creation.

Change to a void return to discourage architectures from making debugfs
failures fatal for the VM. Seems like everyone already had the right
idea, as all implementations already return 0 unconditionally.

Compile-tested on arm64, powerpc, and x86 since I don't trust myself to
even get this simple patch right.
