Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 00/11] Return failure on failure for more xl commands

[Paulina Szubarczyk <paulinaszubarczyk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I was looking at wrong branch, I am sorry. The patches

* {01-04,08,11} were not attached in the previous patch [0].

* {05,06} are applied in the version made by George Dunlap.
  I added the changes to return 0/1 in internal functions
  and EXIT_{SUCCESS/FAILURE} according to [2]. It certainly should be
  resend.

* 07 was attached in the previous patch but is not applied in staging.
  It relates pci-* functions. I modified it as in the point higher.

* 09 is applied.

* 10 is not applied, I did not modified it. It brings coding style improvements.

Summing up the new changes
* 01-03 are the patches related to libxl_pci, the functions return error code
  instead of always 0
* 04 modifies freemem from xl_cmdimpl to follow the pattern to return 0/1 for
  not main functions
* 08 is a change to return error codes for main_tmem* related functions
* 11 is a change with improvement of coding style, change 'rc -> r'
