6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 66bbea9ed6446b8471d365a22734dc00556c4785 upstream. The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us, this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so user-space at least is aware something went wrong. Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.
