[PATCH RFC v2 03/10] openat2: explicitly return -E2BIG for (usize > PAGE_SIZE)

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

 



While we do currently return -EFAULT in this case, it seems prudent to
follow the behaviour of other syscalls like clone3. It seems quite
unlikely that anyone depends on this error code being EFAULT, but we can
always revert this if it turns out to be an issue.
