From 00719fab9f6eb90b9e427d1096ad540d51878661 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 01:46:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: bcm: Check correct user provided length and fix error code returned bcm driver copies a buffer length provided by userpace without checking it. RxCntrlMsgBitMask is of type unsigned long so only makes sense to copy sizeof(unsigned long) bytes. Also, copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied. The driver is returning that value as error code instead of -EFAULT. This patch solves both issues.
