[patch] Staging: rc2860: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user errors

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

 



copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining but we want to
return a negative error code.  This is in the ioctl handler and the
error code gets passed to userspace.
