From 91c9afaf97ee554d2cd3042a5ad01ad21c99e8c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:44:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: new instances of ENOSYS are errors ENOSYS means that a nonexistent system call was called. We have a bad habit of using it for things like invalid operations on otherwise valid syscalls. We should avoid this in new code. Pervasive incorrect usage of ENOSYS came up at the kernel summit ABI review discussion. Let's see if checkpatch can help. I'll submit a separate patch for include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h.
