When error occurs, need return the related error code to let upper caller know about it. ppc_md.nvram_size() can return the error code (e.g. core99_nvram_size() in 'arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.c'). And when '*ppos >= size', need return -ESPIPE (Illegal seek)Why? When *ppos >= size, it should return 0 (end of file) in my opinion. ESPIPE means that any seek would be ineffective, not that a particular seek went out of bounds.
OK, thanks, I will send patch v2. :-) Thanks. -- Chen Gang Asianux Corporation
