Subject: [PATCH 07/12] bcache: Correct return value for sysfs attach errors
Date: Wed,  6 Sep 2017 14:25:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170906062602.50497-8-colyli@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170906062602.50497-1-colyli@suse.de>

From: Tony Asleson <tasleson@redhat.com>

If you encounter any errors in bch_cached_dev_attach it will return
a negative error code.  The variable 'v' which stores the result is
unsigned, thus user space sees a very large value returned for bytes
written which can cause incorrect user space behavior.  Utilize 1
signed variable to use throughout the function to preserve error return
capability.
