3.2.100-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx> commit 6ed9b28504326f8cf542e6b68245b2f7ce009216 upstream. Similar to an earlier patch, fixing reading user-space data for the VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS ioctl() in 32-bit compatibility mode, this patch fixes writing back of the possibly modified struct to the user. However, unlike the former bug, this one is much less harmful, because it only results in the kernel failing to write the .type field back to the user, but in fact this is likely unneeded, because the kernel will hardly want to change that field. Therefore this bug is more of a theoretical nature.
