[PATCH net 4/4] net: Comment copy_from_sockptr() explaining its behaviour

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



copy_from_sockptr() has a history of misuse. Add a comment explaining that
the function follows API of copy_from_user(), i.e. returns 0 for success,
or number of bytes not copied on error.
