[patch 1/2] xen-gntdev: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user failure

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

 



copy_to_user() returns the amount of data remaining to be copied.  We
want to return a negative error code here.  The upper layers just
call WARN_ON() if we return non-zero so this doesn't change the
behavior.  But returning -EFAULT is still cleaner.
