Subject: [PATCH] dup2: Fix return value with oldfd == newfd and invalid fd
Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 14:25:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A086D9E.60308@suse.com> (raw)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

 The return value of dup2 when oldfd == newfd and the fd isn't valid is not
 getting properly sign extended. We end up with 4294967287 instead of -EBADF.

 I've reproduced this on SLE11 (2.6.27.21), openSUSE Factory (2.6.29-rc5),
 and Ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.28).

 This patch uses a signed int for the error value so it is properly extended.

 Commit 6c5d0512a091480c9f981162227fdb1c9d70e555 introduced this regression.
