[PATCH] RPC: [PATCH] improve rpcauthauth_create error returns
Currently we return -ENOMEM for every single failure to create a new auth. This is actually accurate for auth_null and auth_unix, but for auth_gss it's a bit confusing. Allow rpcauth_create (and the ->create methods) to return errors. With this patch, the user may sometimes see an EINVAL instead. Whee. Signed-off-by: J.
