Subject: [patch] Fix error handling in sysfs registration
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 17:45:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E767A36.5020300@us.ibm.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 295 bytes --]
The cpu, memblk, and node driver/device registration should be a little
more clean in the way it handles registration failures. Or at least
*consistent* amongst the topology elements. Right now, failures are
either silent, obscure, or leave things in an inconsistent state.
Cheers!
-Matt
