Subject: [12/44] drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c: fix VT_OPENQRY error value
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:04:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101208000640.714274583@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101208003205.GA4286@kroah.com>

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Graham Gower <graham.gower@gmail.com>

commit 1e0ad2881d50becaeea70ec696a80afeadf944d2 upstream.

When all VT's are in use, VT_OPENQRY casts -1 to unsigned char before
returning it to userspace as an int.  VT255 is not the next available
console.
