    Subject[PATCH 02/12] cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure
    Date
    Currently, onlining or offlining a CPU failure by one of the cpu
    notifiers error always cause -EINVAL error.
    (i.e. writing 0 or 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online gets EINVAL)

    To get better error reporting rather than always getting -EINVAL,
    This changes cpu_notify() to return -errno value with notifier_to_errno() and
    fix the callers. Now that cpu notifiers can return encapsulate errno value.

    Currently, all cpu hotplug notifiers return NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD,
    or NOTIFY_DONE. So cpu_notify() can returns 0 or -EPERM with this change
    for now.
    (notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_OK) == 0, notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_DONE) == 0,
    notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_BAD) == -EPERM)

    Forthcoming patches convert several cpu notifiers to return encapsulate
    errno value with notifier_from_errno().
