[patch] watchdog: ts72xx_wdt: cleanup return codes in ioctl

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

 



There seems to be some confusion here which functions return positive
numbers and which return negative error codes.

copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied but we
want to return -EFAULT.

The rest is just clean up.  get_user() actually returns zero on success
and -EFAULT on error so we can preserve the error code.  The
timeout_to_regval() function returns -EINVAL on failure, but we can
propogate that back instead of hardcoding -EINVAL ourselves.
