Subject: [PATCH 3/6] ALSA: info: Return -ENODEV instead of -EFAULT in alloc_info_private()
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 15:49:47 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706084950.49331-4-phucduc.bui@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706084950.49331-1-phucduc.bui@gmail.com>
From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>
When try_module_get() fails in alloc_info_private(), the owning module is
going away and the device is no longer usable, so -EFAULT ("bad address")
is the wrong error. Return -ENODEV, matching the other -ENODEV path in the
same function.
This changes the errno reported to userspace on this rare race.
No other behaviour changes.
