[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christian Heusel <christian@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 25c1772a0493463408489b1fae65cf77fe46cac1 ]

Utilize the %pe print specifier to get the symbolic error name as a
string (i.e "-ENOMEM") in the log message instead of the error code to
increase its readablility.
