[PATCH 4.7 170/184] hexagon: fix strncpy_from_user() error return

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 22 2016 - 13:58:31 EST


4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f35c1e0671728d1c9abc405d05ef548b5fcb2fc4 upstream.

It's -EFAULT, not -1 (and contrary to the comment in there,
__strnlen_user() can return 0 - on faults).
