Subject: [PATCH] tap: fix net_init_tap() return code
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2025 13:36:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1752525414-223746-1-git-send-email-steven.sistare@oracle.com> (raw)

net_init_tap intends to return 0 for success and -1 on error.  However,
when net_init_tap() succeeds for a multi-queue device, it returns 1,
because of this code where ret becomes 1 when g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking
succeeds:

        ret = g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking(fd, true, NULL);
        if (!ret) {
            ... error ...
    free_fail:
        ...
        return ret;

Luckily, the only current call site checks for negative, rather than non-zero:

  net_client_init1()
      if (net_client_init_fun[](...) < 0)

Also, in the unlikely case that g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking fails and returns
false, ret=0 is returned, and net_client_init1 will use a broken interface.

Fix it to be future proof.
