This patch looks like it should be in the 3.9-stable tree, should we apply it? ------------------ From: "Vahram Martirosyan <vmartirosyan@xxxxxxxxx>" commit e9b376671910d105c5e61103111b96209c729529 upstream The mentioned functions do not pay attention to the error codes returned by the functions updateSuper(), lmLogInit() and lmLogShutdown(). It brings to system crash later when writing to log. The patch adds corresponding code to check and return the error codes and to print correct error messages in case of errors.
