proposal to add small helper for error conversion

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

 



Hi,

drivers need to return errors to user space.
A common source for them are urb->status and the
return value of usb_submit_urb(). They cannot be returned as
is to user space, as for example -EPIPE has a very
different meaning in user space. I'd like to add this small
helper for conversion.
What do you think?

	Regards

+/* translate USB error codes to codes user space understands */
+static inline int usb_translate_errors(int error_code)
+{
+	switch (error_code) {
+	case 0:
+	case -ENOMEM:
+	case -ENODEV:
+		return error_code;
+	default:
+		return -EIO;
+	}
+}
