From 22aecebfd9498c4779e5c5bed1d2d054bd99f7a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:01:37 -0700 Subject: acpi-power-meter: Don't leak ACPI error codes to userspace If the ACPI methods return an error code, we must return -EINVAL to userspace to flag the error. Right now we pass the (positive) number right through, which causes echo to keep writing bogus values. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
