This patch changes the show() method of the "state" sysfs attribute to propagate errors returned by the enable_show() op. In this way, userspace can distinguish between when the bridge is actually "enabled" (i.e., allowing signals) or "disabled" (i.e., gating signals), or when there is an error. Currently, enable_show() returns an integer representing the bridge's state (enabled or disabled) or an error code. However, this integer value is interpreted in state_show() as a bool, resulting in the method printing "enabled" (i.e., the bridge allows signals to pass), without propagating the error, even when enable_show() returns an error code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
