3.5.7.23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Prarit Bhargava <[email protected]> commit e82b89a6f19bae73fb064d1b3dd91fcefbb478f4 upstream. modalias_show() should return an empty string on error, not -ENODEV. This causes the following false and annoying error: > find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat >/dev/null cat: /sys/devices/vio/4000/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/4001/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/4002/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/4004/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/modalias: No such device Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <[email protected]> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c index cb87301..b161bae 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c @@ -1520,11 +1520,15 @@ static ssize_t modalias_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *cp; dn = dev->of_node; - if (!dn) - return -ENODEV; + if (!dn) { + strcat(buf, "\n"); + return strlen(buf); + } cp = of_get_property(dn, "compatible", NULL); - if (!cp) - return -ENODEV; + if (!cp) { + strcat(buf, "\n"); + return strlen(buf); + } return sprintf(buf, "vio:T%sS%s\n", vio_dev->type, cp); } -- 1.8.3.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
