[patch] fbmem: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user() failure

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Jun 18 2013 - 03:05:51 EST


copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
put_user() returns -EFAULT on error.

This function ORs a bunch of stuff together and returns jumbled non-zero
values on error. It should return -EFAULT.
