From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit f7ef7e3e506023f826c1ee60b7e59b985316e180 ] It's not very normal to return 1 on failure and 0 on success. There isn't a reason for it here, the callers don't care so long as it's non-zero on failure.
