On x86 only. We could use force_successful_syscall_return() to make sure the condition codes get set correctly on other platforms.
But even in that case we'd still be broken when the return value is exactly -1 and that's what the application is going to compare against to test for errors. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
