Please read my email again, and take note of the _context_ above the
places that I've commented. Context matters.
What I'm saying is that this change:
err = invoke_psci_fn(fn, cpuid, entry_point, 0);
+ if (err == PSCI_RET_DENIED)
+ return -EPERM;
return psci_to_linux_errno(err);
Is unnecessary when psci_to_linux_errno() already does:
static __always_inline int psci_to_linux_errno(int errno)
{
switch (errno) {
...
case PSCI_RET_DENIED:
return -EPERM;
So, a return of PSCI_RET_DENIED from invoke_psci_fn() above will
_already_ be translated to -EPERM (which is -1) by
psci_to_linux_errno(). There is no need to add that extra if()
statement in __psci_cpu_on().
I was _not_ saying that the entire patch was unnecessary.
Context matters. That's why we include context in replies.
Standard email etiquette (before Microsoft messed it up) is to quote the
email that is being replied to, trimming hard irrelevant content, and to
place the reply comments immediately below the original content to which
the comments relate, to give the reply comments the context necessary
for correct interpretation.
Thanks.
