[PATCH] staging: lustre: Fix a spatch warning due to an assignment from kernel to user space

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

 



lnet_ipif_enumerate was assigning a pointer from kernel space to user
space. This patch uses copy_to_user to properly do that assignment.

 shouldn't we be using ifc_req instead of ifc_buf?
