commit66bbea9ed6upstream. The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us, this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so user-space at least is aware something went wrong. Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
