Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] nvmem: return -EOPNOTSUPP to in-kernel users on missing callbacks
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:57:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223-nvmem-unbind-v2-2-0df33a933dca@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223-nvmem-unbind-v2-0-0df33a933dca@oss.qualcomm.com>
__nvmem_reg_read/write() currently return -EINVAL if the relevant
callback is not present. User-space helpers again check the presence
of the callbacks to see if they should return -EPERM.
Ahead of adding SRCU synchronization: change the error code returned to
in-kernel users to -EOPNOTSUPP which is more indicative of the actual
reason for the failure as well as allows us to translate it easily to
-EPERM in sysfs callbacks without having to dereference the callback
pointers. This will allow us to limit the number of SRCU critical
sections in the follow-up commits.
