Wong" <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2022 12:16:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: dont return EINVAL from GETFSUUID when reporting UUID length If userspace calls this ioctl with fsu_length (the length of the fsuuid.fsu_uuid array) set to zero, ext4 copies the desired uuid length out to userspace. The kernel call returned a result from a valid input, so the return value here should be zero, not EINVAL. While we're at it, fix the copy_to_user call to make it clear that we're only copying out fsu_len. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
