Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8723bs: fix unchecked return value of skb_copy_bits
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 22:22:41 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120132241.2119454-1-s9430939@naver.com> (raw)
The function _rtw_pktfile_read() incorrectly updated the file pointer
even when skb_copy_bits() failed.
This patch fixes the issue by:
1. Propagating the negative error code from skb_copy_bits() if it fails,
preventing internal pointer updates.
2. Updating all callers to check the return value and handle errors
appropriately.
