[PATCH] bcache: Correct return value for sysfs attach errors

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

 



If you encounter any errors in bch_cached_dev_attach it will return a negative
error code.  The variable 'v' which stores the result is unsigned, thus user
space sees a very large value returned for bytes written which can cause
incorrect user space behavior.  Utilize 1 signed variable to use throughout
the function to preserve error return capability.
