x86, intel_cacheinfo: Fix error return code in amd_set_l3_disable_slot()
If the L3 disable slot is already in use, return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL. The caller, store_cache_disable(), checks this return value to print an appropriate warning. Also, we want to signal with -EEXIST that the current index we're disabling has actually been already disabled on the node: $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 -bash: echo: write error: File exists $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 -bash: echo: write error: File exists $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 -bash: echo: write error: File exists The old code would say -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument for disable slot 1 when playing the example above with no output in dmesg, which is clearly misleading.
