commit bb817e4b8c2eef12fb831a17cf935db8a1677d06 Author: Benjamin Marzinski Date: Mon Dec 19 16:19:56 2011 -0600 multipath: fix scsi timeout code sysfs_attr_set_value() returns the amount written on on success, or -1 on failure. sysfs_setc_scsi_tmo() was checking if the return was nonzero, and failing if it was. This meant that it always failed out silently after writing the first value. I've changed the check, and added some error messages. I also made sysfs_attr_set_value return -1 for all errors.
