[PATCH v2 2/2] SUNRPC: Don't return error values in sysfs read of closed files

[trondmy@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of returning an error value, which ends up being the return
value for the read() system call, it is more elegant to simply return
the error as a string value.
