[PATCH net-next 4/5] openvswitch: Change ENOENT return value to ENODEV in lookup_vport().

From: Jesse Gross <hidden>
Date: 2013-03-15 17:38:50
Subsystem: networking [general], openvswitch, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Aaron Conole, Eelco Chaudron, Ilya Maximets, Linus Torvalds

From: Jarno Rajahalme <redacted>

This reduces the number of valid "no such device" error values that
need special attention by the caller.

Userspace code will need to keep on checking for both ENODEV and
ENOENT as long as older kernel modules are around.
