[PATCH] staging: sep: return -EFAULT on copy_from_user failure

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

 



copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied,
and it fails if user pointer is invalid, so return -EFAULT
so that the user gets a FAULT.
