[PATCH 07/12] bcache: Correct return value for sysfs attach errors

From: Coly Li <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-06 06:25:57
Also in: linux-bcache, stable
Subsystem: bcache (block layer cache), the rest · Maintainers: Coly Li, Kent Overstreet, Linus Torvalds

From: Tony Asleson <redacted>

If you encounter any errors in bch_cached_dev_attach it will return
a negative error code.  The variable 'v' which stores the result is
unsigned, thus user space sees a very large value returned for bytes
written which can cause incorrect user space behavior.  Utilize 1
signed variable to use throughout the function to preserve error return
capability.
