Thanks!

You should post a new thread.

Thanks.

There should be many other reasons to fail for open().

Let's use strerror()?

Thanks

???
Why are you comparing a file descriptor to NULL?

No, do not suggest checking unconditionally this is just wasting user's
time.  You would have to check the exact errno value. You will either
get ENOENT or ENODEV if module is not loaded. Other errors indicate
other problems.  And what matters is whether it's loaded, not installed
- vhost_test.ko will not get auto-loaded even if installed.

In short, I am not applying this patch. If you really want to make
things a bit easier in case of errors, replace all assert r >= 0 with
a macro that prints out strerror(errno), that should be enough.
Maybe print file/line number too while we are at it.
