Subject: question about mtdchar.c
Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2003 12:28:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FD5B1EF.4060905@keymile.com> (raw)

Hello everybody,


I have a question, concerning the 
MEMGETINFO part of the mtd_ioctl function,
contained in .../mtd/drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c

I think, the right code is 


                .
                .
	case MEMGETINFO:
		if (copy_to_user((struct mtd_info_user *)arg, mtd,
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
				 sizeof(struct mtd_info_user)))
			return -EFAULT;
		break;
                .
                .

instead


                .
                .
	case MEMGETINFO:
		if (copy_to_user((struct mtd_info *)arg, mtd,
                                         ^^^^^^^^
				 sizeof(struct mtd_info_user)))
			return -EFAULT;
		break;
                .
                .

I have attached the patch file.
Is this correct or have I not understand the code?
