[PATCH 2/2] wil6210: debugfs: replace in wil_link_stats_write() in wil_link_stats_write()

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

 



This code has a check for "if (rc != len) {" so it will fail if the
simple_write_to_buffer() does not completely fill the buffer.  In
particular it will fail if "*ppos != 0". Although this code works, it is
more complicated than necessary.  Just use strndup_user() instead.
