The copy_to/from_user() functions should return -EFAULT instead of -EINVAL.

Hi,

just for my understanding, why?

Even if not perfect:
   git grep -A1 copy_from_user | grep EINV | wc -l
   15

   git grep -A1 copy_to_user | grep EINV | wc -l
   12

Hi,

maybe return -EFAULT is more better than -EINVAL.

    git grep -A1 "copy_from_user" | grep EFAULT | wc -l

     1985

    git grep -A1 "copy_to_user" | grep EFAULT | wc -l

    1871
