From: Minwoo Im <minwoo.im.dev@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cee6c269b016ba89c62e34d6bccb103ee2c7de4f ] If the state change to NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING fails, the dmesg is going to be like: [ 293.689160] nvme nvme0: failed to mark controller CONNECTING [ 293.689160] nvme nvme0: Removing after probe failure status: 0 Even it prints the first line to indicate the situation, the second line is not proper because the status is 0 which means normally success of the previous operation. This patch makes it indicate the proper error value when it fails. [ 25.932367] nvme nvme0: failed to mark controller CONNECTING [ 25.932369] nvme nvme0: Removing after probe failure status: -16 This situation is able to be easily reproduced by: root@target:~# rmmod nvme && modprobe nvme && rmmod nvme Signed-off-by: Minwoo Im <minwoo.im.dev@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni <chaitanya.kulkarni@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/nvme/host/pci.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/pci.c b/drivers/nvme/host/pci.c index 693f2a856200..21a51a0ff4d7 100644 --- a/drivers/nvme/host/pci.c +++ b/drivers/nvme/host/pci.c @@ -2545,6 +2545,7 @@ static void nvme_reset_work(struct work_struct *work) if (!nvme_change_ctrl_state(&dev->ctrl, NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING)) { dev_warn(dev->ctrl.device, "failed to mark controller CONNECTING\n"); + result = -EBUSY; goto out; } -- 2.20.1
