Subject: [PATCH] hppfs: hppfs_read_file() may return -ERROR
Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:40:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49AD4F52.8070205@gmail.com> (raw)
FYI: hppfs_read_file() is at: vi fs/hppfs/hppfs.c +212
------------------------------>8-------------8<---------------------------------
hppfs_read_file() may return (ssize_t) -ENOMEM, or -EFAULT. when stored in
size_t 'count', these errors will not be noticed, a large value will be added to
*ppos.
