[patch] drm/drm_crtc: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user errors

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

 



copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes left to be copied but we
want to return a negative error code here.  This is in the ioctl handler
so the error code get returned to userspace.
