SubjectRe: [PATCH] KernelJanitor: Convert remaining error returns to return -E Linux 2.5.68
Date
It was intended to do exactly what the KernelJanitor TODO and kj.pl script 
pointed out, but aparently there's more to it than that. (BTW it just says
"sed s/return EWHATEVER/return -EWHATEVER/") Discouraging people with foul
language isn't the best way to get more developers, this is only my first
try.
