Subject: Re: dev_ifname32() fails on 32->64bit calls in copy_in_user().
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:35:24 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1193798124.9928.91.camel@pasglop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071031003850.GE7517@tasint.org>

Bug is in the new dev_ifname32:

	uifr = compat_alloc_user_space(sizeof(struct ifreq));
	if (copy_in_user(uifr, compat_ptr(arg), sizeof(struct ifreq32)));
		return -EFAULT;

There's a stray ";" after the if statement, that was obviously not
tested :-)

This fixes it here (tested):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PATCH] Fix new dev_ifname32 returning -EFAULT

A stray semicolon slipped in the patch that updated dev_ifname32 to
not be inline, causing it to always return -EFAULT. This fixes it.
