[RFC][PATCH] fs/signalfd.c: Fix inconsistent return codes for signalfd4

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

 



The kernel provides a native and a compat implementation for the
signalfd4() syscall.

While looking into the qemu user emulation code, I noticed that in the
kernel compat case, EFAULT is returned if the given user mask can't be
accessed, while the native path returns EINVAL on such failure.

For the sake of consistency, this patch adjusts the native path to
return the same error code (EFAULT) as the compat case.
