[PATCH 3.2 119/152] sh64: failing __get_user() should zero

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

 



3.2.84-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c6852389228df9fb3067f94f3b651de2a7921b36 upstream.

It could be done in exception-handling bits in __get_user_b() et.al.,
but the surgery involved would take more knowledge of sh64 details
than I have or _want_ to have.
