[PATCH 3.12 107/119] hexagon: fix strncpy_from_user() error return

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Thu Sep 29 2016 - 06:33:31 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit f35c1e0671728d1c9abc405d05ef548b5fcb2fc4 upstream.

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