[PATCH 3.16 251/254] media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: don't copy back the result for certain errors

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 11:26:06 EST


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

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

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d83a8243aaefe62ace433e4384a4f077bed86acb upstream.

Some ioctls need to copy back the result even if the ioctl returned
an error. However, don't do this for the error code -ENOTTY.
It makes no sense in that cases.
