Subject: [PATCH] pstore: Fail to unlink if a driver has not defined pstore_erase
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:18:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130624074453.24481.96622.stgit@aruna-ThinkPad-T420> (raw)
pstore_erase is used to erase the record from the persistent store.
So if a driver has not defined pstore_erase callback return
-EINVAL instead of unlinking a file as deleting the file without
erasing its record in persistent store will give a wrong impression
to customers.
