From 64ce1037c5434b1d036cd99ecaee6e00496bc2e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:01:15 -0800 Subject: kfifo: sanitize *_user error handling Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code. Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value. I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?) I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions correctly.
