[PATCH 3.10 088/319] hexagon: fix strncpy_from_user() error return

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

 



From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f35c1e0671728d1c9abc405d05ef548b5fcb2fc4 upstream.

It's -EFAULT, not -1 (and contrary to the comment in there,
__strnlen_user() can return 0 - on faults).
