From 542cfce6f36e8c43f71ae9c235b78497f350ae55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 13:01:27 -0800 Subject: kobject: kobject_uevent() returns manageable value Since kobject_uevent() function does not return an integer value to indicate if its operation was completed with success or not, it is worth changing it in order to report a proper status (success or error) instead of returning void.
