[PATCH RESEND] rsxx: Return -EFAULT if copy_to_user() fails

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

 



The copy_to_user() function returns the number of bytes remaining but
we want to return -EFAULT to the user if it can't complete the copy.
The "st" variable only holds zero on success or negative error codes on
failure so the type should be int.

I sent this last June as part of a 2 patch series.  No one responded
to the patches.  The first patch was a NULL derefence fix but I now
think that the correct fix for that is to remove the "enable_blkdev"
module option...  Anyway, this patch is uncontroversial so I'm going to
resend it.
