[patch 25/26] cciss: bug fix for BIG_PASS_THRU

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 13 2005 - 03:23:51 EST


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

------------------
From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxx>

Applications using CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU complained that the data written
was zeros. The problem is that the buffer is being cleared after the
user copy, unless the user copy has failed... Correct that logic.
