Subject: [PATCH 6/8] perf machine: Reset errno before strtol in guest kernel map creation
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:40:12 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726234014.63111-7-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260726234014.63111-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
machines__create_guest_kernel_maps() checks errno == ERANGE after
strtol() to detect overflow, but does not clear errno first. A stale
ERANGE from an earlier library call (e.g. scandir internals) causes
valid numeric directory names to be incorrectly skipped.
Set errno = 0 before strtol() so only the current conversion can
trigger the ERANGE check.
Fixes: a1645ce12adb ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host")
