Subject: [patch] Staging: ft1000-usb: copying to wrong location
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:55:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101117065505.GG31724@bicker> (raw)

We made "dpram_data" a pointer ealier but missed one place which needs
to be changed.  It causes a compile error with
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS=y

In function ‘copy_from_user’,
    inlined from ‘ft1000_ChIoctl’ at
	drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft1000_chdev.c:701:
	arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:212: 	error: call to
	‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared with attribute error:
	copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
make[4]: *** [drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft1000_chdev.o] Error 1

Also I initialized "dpram_data" to NULL.  That silences a compiler
warning from where we pass uninitialized data to the kfree(dpram_data);
