[PATCH 3.2 018/221] staging: comedi: comedi_compat32.c: fix COMEDI_CMD copy back

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 22:25:46 EST


3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 42b8ce6f55facfa101462e694d33fc6bca471138 upstream.

`do_cmd_ioctl()` in "comedi_fops.c" handles the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl.
This returns `-EAGAIN` if it has copied a modified `struct comedi_cmd`
back to user-space. (This occurs when the low-level Comedi driver's
`do_cmdtest()` handler returns non-zero to indicate a problem with the
contents of the `struct comedi_cmd`, or when the `struct comedi_cmd` has
the `CMDF_BOGUS` flag set.)

`compat_cmd()` in "comedi_compat32.c" handles the 32-bit compatible
version of the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl. Currently, it never copies a 32-bit
compatible version of `struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space, which is
at odds with the way the regular `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl is handled. To fix
it, change `compat_cmd()` to copy a 32-bit compatible version of the
`struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space when the main ioctl handler
returns `-EAGAIN`.
