From: Will Deacon Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 10:51:54 +0000 (+0100) Subject: futex: Update comments and docs about return values of arch futex code X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b5800872a9c8216d0a80582a24b4bad6e7102f50;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git futex: Update comments and docs about return values of arch futex code commit 427503519739e779c0db8afe876c1b33f3ac60ae upstream. The architecture implementations of 'arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()' and 'futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()' are permitted to return only -EFAULT, -EAGAIN or -ENOSYS in the case of failure. Update the comments in the asm-generic/ implementation and also a stray reference in the robust futex documentation.
