[PATCH 3/3 v2] xen/xenbus: Improve failure processing code for __xenbus_switch_state()

From: Chen Gang
Date: Thu Sep 18 2014 - 10:01:37 EST


When failure occurs, need return failure code instead of 0, or some of
indirect upper callers may misunderstand.

e.g. in "block/xen-blkback/xenbus.c":

connect() -> xenbus_switch_state() -> __xenbus_switch_state().
