From 0286c67e710cc82260b8c826e5a7b75143fedbd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 22:58:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] intel: i40e: fix confused code This code is pretty confused. The variable name 'bytes_not_copied' clearly indicates that the programmer knew the semantics of copy_{to,from}_user, but then the return value is checked for being negative and used as a -Exxx return value. I'm not sure this is the proper fix, but at least we get rid of the dead code which pretended to check for access faults.
