[PATCH v2 03/27] staging: unisys: iovmcall_gnuc.h change -1 return values

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

 



From: Erik Arfvidson <erik.arfvidson@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch changes the vague -1 return values to -EPERM.
This operation is not supported is a good alternative
to -1 because the return is basically telling the caller
that the processor doesn't support vmcall operations.
