[PATCH 1/2] staging: android: logger: Allocate logs dynamically at boot (v2)

[PATCH 1/2] staging: android: logger: Allocate logs dynamically at boot (v2)

[Tim Bird]

This changes the log initialization to be dynamic, but still
at boot time.  These changes are a predecessor to implementing
runtime allocation and freeing of logs, to make the Android logger
less hard-coded.

Change from a fixed set of static log structures, to allocation
at init time into a list.

Please return a "real" error number, not just -1.  You do this a few
times in this function, -EINVAL perhaps?  -1 is -EPERM, which is not
what you want to be saying here, right?

You're right.  This is only called by init code now, which doesn't
look at the return value (only checks for non-zero), but the intent
is to change this going forward, so a real error number is called for.

These are all memory allocation failures, so I'm thinking of using
-ENOMEM.  Would that be right?

Yes, sorry, I missed that, -ENOMEM is correct

I was looking at the place where the lookup failed to find the log
specified, you should return a proper error for that as well.
