Subject: [PATCH v2 01/27] staging: unisys: visorbus change -1 return values
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 22:26:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464748013-31309-2-git-send-email-david.kershner@unisys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464748013-31309-1-git-send-email-david.kershner@unisys.com>

From: Erik Arfvidson <erik.arfvidson@unisys.com>

This patch changes the vague -1 return values to -EFAULT since
it would be the most appropriate, given that this error
would only occur in an unexpected bad offset field.
Resulting in a bad address.
