Subject: [PATCH] [MTD-UTILS] Fix for perror modifying errno in nandwrite
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:16:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A3149EC.5030705@orb.com> (raw)

Since perror returns void, I assumed it wouldn't modify errno. I was 
wrong. And since the change was so simple, I didn't test it. Mea culpa. :(

This patch fixes it.
I don't use perror if pwrite fails with EIO because it's not useful. The 
failure of lseek or the message "Erasing failed write ..." implicitly 
says so since it's the only way to reach that code.
There is not such additional message for the MEMERASE error so I use a 
temporary variable instead.
