[PATCH] Fix calculation of size in canon_copy_from_read_buf

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

 



There was a hardcoded value of 4096 which should have been N_TTY_BUF_SIZE.
This caused reads from tty to fail with EFAULT when they shouldn't have
done if N_TTY_BUF_SIZE was declared to be something other than 4096.
