???

I think copy_to_user returns an unsigned value: the number of bytes copied.


static __always_inline unsigned long __must_check
copy_from_user(void *to, const void __user *from, unsigned long n)
{
        if (!check_copy_size(to, n, false))
                return n;
#ifdef INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER
        return _inline_copy_from_user(to, from, n);
#else
        return _copy_from_user(to, from, n);
#endif
}


so, how does the patch work then?
