[PATCH 0/3] gpio: Fix VLA removal fallout

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

 



	Hi Linus,

This patch series fixes various (mostly harmless) issues introduced by
commit 3027743f83f867d8 ("gpio: Remove VLA from gpiolib").

As per the "one patch should fix one issue"-policy, this series contains 3
patches, although they all have the same Fixes: tag.

W.r.t. propagating errors: while gpiod_set_array_value_complex() and its
callers can now return an error code, this is currently limited to -ENOMEM.
Actual failures setting a GPIO output value cannot be propagated, as
gpio_chip.set() still returns void.  Do you want to change that?
E.g. gen_74x164_set_value() can fail.

Feel free to fold patches if deemed appropriate.

Thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
