Subject: [Linux-ia64] problems with ppp/pppd: put_user/copy_to_user
Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 18:56:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590693005655@msgid-missing> (raw)
We've got a report of ppp not working; what happens is that it
puts in the log:
Couldn't get channel number: bad address
when it sends the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl.
However, if we replace the calls to put_user for
PPPIOCGCHAN & PPPIOCGFLAGS ioctls with copy_to_user,
it works fine. Shouldn't this not make any difference?
Bill
