From 10e7ac22cdd4d211cef99afcb9371b70cb175be6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:44:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: rc32434_wdt: fix ioctl error handling Calling return copy_to_user(...) in an ioctl will not do the right thing if there's a pagefault: copy_to_user returns the number of bytes not copied in this case. Fix up watchdog/rc32434_wdt to do return copy_to_user(...)) ? -EFAULT : 0; instead. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michael S.
