3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 10e7ac22cdd4d211cef99afcb9371b70cb175be6 upstream. Calling return copy_to_user(...) in an ioctl will not do the right thing if there's a pagefault: copy_to_user returns the number of bytes not copied in this case. Fix up watchdog/rc32434_wdt to do return copy_to_user(...)) ? -EFAULT : 0; instead. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
