Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com> Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:44:09 +0200 Subject: watchdog: rc32434_wdt: fix ioctl error handling commit 10e7ac22cdd4d211cef99afcb9371b70cb175be6 upstream. 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. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
