[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Return directly after a failed __copy_from_user() in sys_subpage_prot()

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 16:10:50 +0100

* Return directly after a call of the function "__copy_from_user"
  failed here.

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Delete the jump label "out2" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
