From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently an -EFAULT error on a memcpy_to_msg is not being returned because it is being overwritten when variable rv is being re-assigned to the number of bytes copied after breaking out of a loop. Fix this by instead assigning the error to variable copied so that this error code propegated to rv and hence is returned at the end of the function.
