[PATCH] Fix bd_claim() error code.
Problem: In some circumstances, bd_claim() is returning the wrong error code. If we try to swapon an unused block device that isn't swap formatted, we get -EINVAL. But if that same block device is already mounted, we instead get -EBUSY, even though it still isn't a valid swap device. This issue came up on the busybox list trying to get the error message from "swapon -a" right. If a swap device is already enabled, we get -EBUSY, and we shouldn't report this as an error. But we can't distinguish the two -EBUSY conditions, which are very different errors. In the code, bd_claim() returns either 0 or -EBUSY, but in this case busy means "somebody other than sys_swapon has already claimed this", and _that_ means this block device can't be a valid swap device. So return -EINVAL there. Signed-off-by: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
