Yeah. If this were a brand new driver then returning -EINVAL would be a good idea.
Smatch actually warns about this code as well if you turn on the --spammy option. But there are too many of these kinds of warnings and even I can't check them all so the warning is basically useless. In a few months I will have improved the Smatch code to know that the source string is too large so this bug could have been avoided. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
