Subject: [PATCH] virtio: nsm: fix raw ioctl copy error path
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:35:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624173501.4094-1-alhouseenyousef@gmail.com> (raw)

nsm_dev_ioctl() uses a common exit path which unlocks nsm->lock.

A failed copy_from_user() reaches that path before the mutex is locked.

Return -EFAULT directly for that pre-lock failure.
