[PATCH 4.18 040/158] x86/apic/vector: Make error return value negative

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 19:10:41 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 47b7360ce563e18c524ce92b55fb4da72b3b3578 upstream.

activate_managed() returns EINVAL instead of -EINVAL in case of
error. While this is unlikely to happen, the positive return value would
cause further malfunction at the call site.

Fixes: 2db1f959d9dc ("x86/vector: Handle managed interrupts proper")
