[PATCH 2/6] UML - Return hotplug errors to host

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

 



I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the
host were never returned back to the mconsole client.  In some cases,
success was returned instead of even an information-free error.

This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code
pass back an error string along with an error code.  At the top level,
which knows whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole
request, the string is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client.

There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.
