Subject: cpu: hotplug: Preserve per instance callback errors
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=673db10729fb121ea1b16fe57791a0cb9eac1eb5;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

cpu: hotplug: Preserve per instance callback errors

cpuhp_invoke_callback() unwinds earlier callbacks for the same
hotplug state when one instance fails. The rollback path currently
reuses ret, so a successful rollback can hide the original error and
make the failed transition look successful.

Keep the rollback result separate from the original error.
