Subject: [PATCH] coredump: Fix return value in coredump_parse()
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:41:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aKRGu14w5vPSZLgv@stanley.mountain> (raw)
The coredump_parse() function is bool type. It should return true on
success and false on failure. The cn_printf() returns zero on success
or negative error codes. This mismatch means that when "return err;"
here, it is treated as success instead of failure. Change it to return
false instead.
Fixes: a5715af549b2 ("coredump: make coredump_parse() return bool")
