Subject: standard error codes
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 15:33:38 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170314043338.GA5388@eros> (raw)

Driver code in staging/drivers/ks7010 uses the error code -E2BIG as
the error returned if a string argument is larger than destination
buffer. Would this not be better suited to the error code -EOVERFLOW?
Does it matter?

For reference;

#define E2BIG        7  /* Argument list too long */
#define EOVERFLOW   75  /* Value too large for defined data type */

thanks,
Tobin.
