Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 12:13:36 +0900 From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com> To: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...stprotocols.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] perf evlist: Restore original errno after open failed If perf_evsel__open() failed, the errno was set and returned properly. However since the perf_evlist__open() called close() on fd's for all of evsel x cpu x thread after the failure, the errno was overridden by other code (EBADF). So the caller of the function ended up seeing different error message and getting confused. Fit it by restoring original return value. Because one of caller of the function is in the python extension, and it uses system errno internally, it'd be better restoring the original value rather than using the return value of the function directly, IMHO (i.e. I'm not a python expert :) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com> --- tools/perf/util/evlist.c | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/evlist.c b/tools/perf/util/evlist.c index ec4e338ee291..1986d8051bd1 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/evlist.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/evlist.c @@ -767,6 +767,7 @@ out_err: list_for_each_entry_reverse(evsel, &evlist->entries, node) perf_evsel__close(evsel, ncpus, nthreads); + errno = -err; return err; } -- 1.7.9 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
