Subject: [patch] drm/drm_crtc: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user errors
Date: Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:23:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100604102321.GZ5483@bicker> (raw)

copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes left to be copied but we
want to return a negative error code here.  This is in the ioctl handler
so the error code get returned to userspace.
