From 5b54470daded19d83ea2bbf5f6bc12662942cd63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 12:35:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fcntl: return -EFAULT if copy_to_user fails copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining, but we want to return -EFAULT. ret = fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN_EX, NULL); With the original code ret would be 8 here.
