Subject: [PATCH] selftests: watchdog: fix message when /dev/watchdog open fails
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 13:18:46 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180926191846.23984-1-shuah@kernel.org> (raw)
When /dev/watchdog open fails, watchdog exits with "watchdog not enabled"
message. This is incorrect when open fails due to insufficient privilege.
Fix message to clearly state the reason when open fails with EACCESS when
a non-root user runs it.
