[PATCH 1/9] kdbus: return EBADSLT on replies without slot

From: David Herrmann
Date: Thu Aug 06 2015 - 04:24:36 EST


If you send a reply without an active reply slot, we used to return EPERM.
However, this makes it impossible to distinguish this case from a real
permission-denied error (eg., LSM). Hence, make sure we return a unique
error-code if the reply-slot is missing.

With this patch, you get EBADSLT ("Invalid slot") if you call
KDBUS_CMD_SEND with a reply-cookie that has no valid slot.
