Subject: [patch] staging: dgnc: off by one in dgnc_mgmt_ioctl()
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2015 07:39:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150310073942.GA14438@mwanda> (raw)

"dgnc_NumBoards" is the number of initialized elements in the
dgnc_Board[] array so the comparison should be ">=" instead of ">" so we
don't read invalid data.  We can remove the special handling of the
empty array now that we've fixed this bug.
