Subject: [patch 07/12] seq_file: return a negative error code when seq_path_root() fails.
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:10:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200908062310.n76NACsv012939@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp>

seq_path_root() is returning a return value of successful __d_path()
instead of returning a negative value when mangle_path() failed.

This is not a bug so far because nobody is using return value of
seq_path_root().
