You have converted it to return only positive error codes. That's good for consistency in a way, but it's a step backwards from the big picture point of view. > } > > scsi_scan_host(host); > diff --git a/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c > index a07e94fac673..e17eb8df12c4 100644 > --- a/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c > +++ b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c > @@ -241,8 +241,8 @@ ahc_linux_pci_dev_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *ent) > ahc_linux_pci_inherit_flags(ahc); > > pci_set_drvdata(pdev, ahc); > - ahc_linux_register_host(ahc, &aic7xxx_driver_template); > - return (0); > + error = ahc_linux_register_host(ahc, &aic7xxx_driver_template); > + return -error; This should be done in a separate patch. patch 1: return negative error codes in ahc_linux_register_host() patch 2: return negative error codes in aic7770_probe() patch 3: add a check for errors in ahc_linux_pci_dev_probe() regards, dan carpenter
