Subject: [PATCH -next] gre: return more precise errno value when adding tunnel fails
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:28:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392197311-9676-1-git-send-email-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

Currently this always returns ENOBUFS, because the return value of
__ip_tunnel_create is discarded.

A more common failure is a duplicate name (EEXIST).  Propagate the real
error code so userspace can display a more meaningful error message.
