The patch titled uml: error handling fixes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is uml-error-handling-fixes.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> Blairsorblade noticed some confusion between our use of a system call's return value and errno. This patch fixes a number of related bugs - using errno instead of a return value using a return value instead of errno forgetting to negate a error return to get a positive error code Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> --- arch/um/os-Linux/file.c | 2 +- arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c | 6 +++--- arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/registers.c | 4 ++-- arch/um/os-Linux/sys-x86_64/registers.c | 4 ++-- arch/um/os-Linux/umid.c | 4 ++-- 5 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/um/os-Linux/file.c~uml-error-handling-fixes arch/um/os-Linux/file.c --- 25/arch/um/os-Linux/file.c~uml-error-handling-fixes Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 +++ 25-akpm/arch/um/os-Linux/file.c Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 @@ -171,7 +171,7 @@ int os_sigio_async(int master, int slave flags = fcntl(master, F_GETFL); if(flags < 0) - return errno; + return -errno; if((fcntl(master, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK | O_ASYNC) < 0) || (fcntl(master, F_SETOWN, os_getpid()) < 0)) diff -puN arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c~uml-error-handling-fixes arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c --- 25/arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c~uml-error-handling-fixes Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 +++ 25-akpm/arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 @@ -344,12 +344,12 @@ int copy_context_skas0(unsigned long new err = ptrace_setregs(pid, regs); if(err < 0) panic("copy_context_skas0 : PTRACE_SETREGS failed, " - "pid = %d, errno = %d\n", pid, errno); + "pid = %d, errno = %d\n", pid, -err); err = ptrace_setfpregs(pid, fp_regs); if(err < 0) panic("copy_context_skas0 : PTRACE_SETFPREGS failed, " - "pid = %d, errno = %d\n", pid, errno); + "pid = %d, errno = %d\n", pid, -err); /* set a well known return code for detection of child write failure */ child_data->err = 12345678; @@ -362,7 +362,7 @@ int copy_context_skas0(unsigned long new pid = data->err; if(pid < 0) panic("copy_context_skas0 - stub-parent reports error %d\n", - pid); + -pid); /* Wait, until child has finished too: read child's result from * child's stack and check it. diff -puN arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/registers.c~uml-error-handling-fixes arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/registers.c --- 25/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/registers.c~uml-error-handling-fixes Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 +++ 25-akpm/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/registers.c Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 @@ -104,7 +104,7 @@ void init_registers(int pid) err = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, pid, 0, exec_regs); if(err) panic("check_ptrace : PTRACE_GETREGS failed, errno = %d", - err); + errno); errno = 0; err = ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, pid, 0, exec_fpx_regs); @@ -119,7 +119,7 @@ void init_registers(int pid) err = ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPREGS, pid, 0, exec_fp_regs); if(err) panic("check_ptrace : PTRACE_GETFPREGS failed, errno = %d", - err); + errno); } void get_safe_registers(unsigned long *regs, unsigned long *fp_regs) diff -puN arch/um/os-Linux/sys-x86_64/registers.c~uml-error-handling-fixes arch/um/os-Linux/sys-x86_64/registers.c --- 25/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-x86_64/registers.c~uml-error-handling-fixes Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 +++ 25-akpm/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-x86_64/registers.c Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 @@ -62,12 +62,12 @@ void init_registers(int pid) err = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, pid, 0, exec_regs); if(err) panic("check_ptrace : PTRACE_GETREGS failed, errno = %d", - err); + errno); err = ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPREGS, pid, 0, exec_fp_regs); if(err) panic("check_ptrace : PTRACE_GETFPREGS failed, errno = %d", - err); + errno); } void get_safe_registers(unsigned long *regs, unsigned long *fp_regs) diff -puN arch/um/os-Linux/umid.c~uml-error-handling-fixes arch/um/os-Linux/umid.c --- 25/arch/um/os-Linux/umid.c~uml-error-handling-fixes Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 +++ 25-akpm/arch/um/os-Linux/umid.c Fri Apr 28 16:55:59 2006 @@ -178,14 +178,14 @@ static void __init create_pid_file(void) fd = open(file, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0644); if(fd < 0){ printk("Open of machine pid file \"%s\" failed: %s\n", - file, strerror(-fd)); + file, strerror(errno)); return; } snprintf(pid, sizeof(pid), "%d\n", getpid()); n = write(fd, pid, strlen(pid)); if(n != strlen(pid)) - printk("Write of pid file failed - err = %d\n", -n); + printk("Write of pid file failed - err = %d\n", errno); close(fd); } _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx are uml-fix-iomem-list-traversal.patch uml-skas0-support-for-2g-2g-hosts.patch uml-remove-null-checks-and-add-some-codingstyle.patch uml-clean-up-after-madvise_remove.patch uml-update-defconfig.patch uml-error-handling-fixes.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
