Subject: [PATCH]: Propagate error code from devpts_pty_new
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:15:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080416221524.GA7112@us.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH]: Propagate error code from devpts_pty_new

Have ptmx_open() propagate any error code returned by devpts_pty_new()
(which returns either 0 or -ENOMEM anyway).
