Subject: kexec: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user() failures
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~112
X-Git-Url: http://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f65a03f6ab6f53a6f2847dbac232dcb38b3b3642;p=net-next-2.6.git

kexec: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user() failures

copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
It never returns a negative value.  The correct return code is -EFAULT and
not -EIO.

All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return
code is passed to the user so we should fix this.
