Subject: [PATCH] asm-generic: add EMAXERRNO
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:30:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200906151530.10299.arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <OF48364F7F.ED6F93C7-ON482575D6.0042A7E0-482575D6.0043654D@sunplusct.com>
Some architectures want to flag error returns from a syscall based on
the return value. The range from zero to -511 is for errors that
we can return to user space, so add a #define for this to
include/asm-generic/errno.h.

How about this one?
