Subject: [PATCH 1/2] i2o: fix overflow of copy_to_user()
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:42:27 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1279176147-5521-1-git-send-email-segooon@gmail.com> (raw)

If (len > reslen) we must not call copy_to_user() since kernel buffer is
smaller than we want to copy. Similar code in this file is correct, so
this bug was a typo.
