The code in question is below. Is this missing an assignment to n
in the else branch?
static inline unsigned long __must_check copy_from_user(void *to,
const void __user *from,
unsigned long n)
{
int sz = __compiletime_object_size(to);
if (likely(sz == -1 || sz >= n))
n = _copy_from_user(to, from, n);
else
copy_from_user_overflow();
return n;
}
