This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Fix wrong return in kprobe_event_gen_test.c to the 6.2-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-fix-wrong-return-in-kprobe_event_gen_test.c.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 75dd00aee887948106f947e0d5b27b6a3017548f Author: Anton Gusev <aagusev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 31 10:58:18 2023 +0300 tracing: Fix wrong return in kprobe_event_gen_test.c [ Upstream commit bc4f359b3b607daac0290d0038561237a86b38cb ] Overwriting the error code with the deletion result may cause the function to return 0 despite encountering an error. Commit b111545d26c0 ("tracing: Remove the useless value assignment in test_create_synth_event()") solves a similar issue by returning the original error code, so this patch does the same.
