From 653252c2302cdf2dfbca66a7e177f7db783f9efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:49:48 -0700 Subject: net: Fix wrong interpretation of some copy_to_user() results. I found some places, that erroneously return the value obtained from the copy_to_user() call: if some amount of bytes were not able to get to the user (this is what this one returns) the proper behavior is to return the -EFAULT error, not that number itself.
