[12/44] drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c: fix VT_OPENQRY error value

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 19:41:10 EST


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

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

From: Graham Gower <graham.gower@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 1e0ad2881d50becaeea70ec696a80afeadf944d2 upstream.

When all VT's are in use, VT_OPENQRY casts -1 to unsigned char before
returning it to userspace as an int. VT255 is not the next available
console.
