From 6b7aaad9ba4f2a059a70014be12a921eceebfc47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Dike Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 23:33:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] uml: Fix handling of failed execs of helpers There were some bugs in handling failures to exec helper programs. errno was passed back from the child with the wrong sign. It was also ignored. In the case where it mattered, the errno from the (successful) read in the parent was used instead.
