However since the perf_evlist__open() called close() on fd's for all of evsel x cpu x thread after the failure, the errno was overridden by other code (EBADF). So the caller of the function ended up seeing different error message and getting confused. Fit it by restoring original return value. Because one of caller of the function is in the python extension, and it uses system errno internally, it'd be better restoring the original value rather than using the return value of the function directly, IMHO (i.e. I'm not a python expert :) Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329966816-23175-1-git-send-email-namhyung.kim@lge.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- diff --git a/tools/perf/util/evlist.c b/tools/perf/util/evlist.c index f8da9fada002..159263d17c2d 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/evlist.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/evlist.c @@ -765,6 +765,7 @@ out_err: list_for_each_entry_reverse(evsel, &evlist->entries, node) perf_evsel__close(evsel, ncpus, nthreads); + errno = -err; return err; }
