Subject: [PATCH] devinet_ioctl(): Set ret to 0 when breaking out of the switch-case
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:48:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180129044807.46975-1-cpaasch@apple.com> (raw)
Commit 03aef17bb79b ("devinet_ioctl(): take copyin/copyout to caller")
introduced a regression when using ifconfig. ifconfig doesn't show the
address anymore. The reason is that the above patch changed the flow in
devinet_ioctl(), where we break; and end up returning ret. ret however
is set to -EADDRNOTAVAIL, which later on prevents the copy_to_user() in
inet_ioctl().
Thus, when we break in devinet_ioctl() we have to set ret to 0 to
properly return out of devinet_ioctl.
