Subject: [Patch 7/9] fs/exec.c: fix wrong return value of prepare_binprm()
Date: Thu,  8 May 2008 21:52:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12102548553947-git-send-email-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1210254754206-git-send-email-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>

All prepare_binprm()'s callers assume that prepare_binprm() fails
when it returns negative. However, prepare_binprm() most probably returns
the return value of kernel_read(), which may return positive on failure!

Thus this should be fixed.
