Subject: [patch] proc: copy_to_user() returns unsigned
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 13:45:39 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100406104539.GC21229@bicker> (raw)

copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes left to be copied.

This was a typo from: d82ef020cf31504c816803b1def94eb5ff173363
"proc: pagemap: Hold mmap_sem during page walk".
