Subject: mgr/crash, mgr/status: return negative errno to fix CLI exit code
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7041f6b6b310165beee46ed45a0d34908716d159;p=ceph.git

mgr/crash, mgr/status: return negative errno to fix CLI exit code

The crash and status mgr modules return positive errno values (e.g.
errno.EINVAL) on error. However, the ceph CLI (src/ceph.in) only
treats negative return codes as errors:

    if ret < 0:
        final_ret = -ret

A positive return code falls through and the CLI exits with 0, masking
the error. This causes commands like "ceph crash post" and "ceph crash
info <bad-id>" to return success (rc=0) despite failing, with the
error message only appearing on stderr.

This was observed in the wild and worked around in a77b47eeeb57, which added a
stderr != "" check to ceph-crash's post_crash() as a mitigation.

Fix the root cause by negating the errno values in both modules,
consistent with the HandleCommandResult convention
(retval: "E.g. 0 or -errno.EINVAL") and the 154 other call sites
across mgr modules that already use negative errno.

Also add error-path tests for the crash module to cover the three
affected commands (info, post, archive).
