From ba919d1caa2e624eb8c6cae1f2ce0a253e697d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:31:44 +0000 Subject: clocksource: Let timekeeping_notify return success/error timekeeping_notify() can fail due cs->enable() failure. Though the caller does not notice and happily keeps the wrong clocksource as the current one. Let the caller know about failure, so the current clocksource will be shown correctly in sysfs.
