[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: use EOPNOTSUPP in hugetlb sysctl handlers

[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: use EOPNOTSUPP in hugetlb sysctl handlers

[Jan Stancek]

Replace ENOTSUPP with EOPNOTSUPP. If hugepages are not supported,
this value is propagated to userspace. EOPNOTSUPP is part of uapi
and is widely supported by libc libraries.

hm, what is the actual user-visible effect of this change?  Does it fix
some misbehaviour?

It gives nicer message to user, rather than:
# cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
cat: /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages: Unknown error 524

And also LTP's proc01 test was failing because this ret code (524)
was unexpected:
proc01      1  TFAIL  :  proc01.c:396: read failed: /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages: errno=???(524): Unknown error 524
proc01      2  TFAIL  :  proc01.c:396: read failed: /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy: errno=???(524): Unknown error 524
proc01      3  TFAIL  :  proc01.c:396: read failed: /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages: errno=???(524): Unknown error 524

Regards,
Jan

Ah, OK, thanks.  "Unknown error 524" is rather rude.  I'll queue this
for 4.5.
