From a80e1053aaa395d94fff5ab7c73c89bb0c28c3c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prarit Bhargava Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 19:23:36 -0400 Subject: x86, wmi fix modalias_show return values I just fixed this same bug in arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c and took a quick look for other similar errors in the kernel. modalias_show() should return an empty string on error, not errno.
