Subject: [PATCH] tty/vt: handle bad user buffer in {G,P}IO_CMAP ioctl
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:26:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120321002645.GA1764@s755> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120319234839.GA26931@kroah.com>

set_get_cmap() ignored the result of {get,put}_user(), causing ioctl(vt,
{G,P}IO_CMAP, 0xdeadbeef) to silently fail.

Another side effect of this: calling the PIO_CMAP ioctl with an invalid
buffer would zero the default colormap and the palette for all vts (all
colors set to black).

Leave the default colormap intact and return -EFAULT when
reading/writing to the userspace buffer fails.
