[linux-lvm] kernel-Oops in 2.4.19 with LVM-1.0.5 + devfs

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

Kaoru,

thanks for pointing this one out :)

It is the only occurence where we forgot to store the return value.
Patch looks correct to me.
Will integrate and test...
Soon to be in CVS in branch LVM_BRANCH_1-0.

Regards,
