Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] Input: evdev: propagate EVIOCSFF copy errors correctly
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:21:55 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831152156.166514-2-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831152156.166514-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com>
Return the error from input_ff_effect_from_user() instead of always
mapping failures to -EFAULT, so wrong buffer sizes surface as -EINVAL.
