Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 6/8] kni: return -EFAULT if copy_from_user fails
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 11:59:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190619185958.27306-7-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190619185958.27306-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The correct thing to return if user gives a bad data
is to return -EFAULT. Logging is also discouraged because
it could be used as a DoS attack.
