From 127af8828518074ab24e9b5678229513d198d832 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Billauer Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 11:56:06 +0300 Subject: char: xillybus: Don't return -EFAULT on user-triggered flush The API allows the application to flush a host-to-FPGA stream by calling write() with the data count set to zero. Before this patch, copy_from_user() was called with a non-zero byte count, which possibly made it attempt to read from unmapped user memory. Such attempts caused the driver to return -EFAULT instead of 0, even though the desired operation went through fine. This patch ensures the driver returns 0 on a successful flush.
