[PATCH 3.18 69/93] media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: dont copy back the result for certain errors

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

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d83a8243aaefe62ace433e4384a4f077bed86acb upstream.

Some ioctls need to copy back the result even if the ioctl returned
an error. However, don't do this for the error code -ENOTTY.
It makes no sense in that cases.
