Subject: [PATCH] KVM: use a more sensible error number when debugfs directory creation fails
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:17:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383131852-5566-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

I don't know if this was due to cut and paste, or somebody was really
using a D20 to pick the error code for kvm_init_debugfs as suggested by
Linus (EFAULT is 14, so the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out).

In any case, this patch fixes it.
