[PATCH][2/2] ide-tape: small cleanups - handle copy_to|from_user()failures

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Nov 28 2004 - 11:29:10 EST



This patch ensures that copy_to|from_user() return values get checked and
dealt with by returning -EFAULT if they fail.
Aside from the fact that we really want to handle these failures, this
patch also silences these warnings:
drivers/ide/ide-tape.c: In function `idetape_copy_stage_from_user':
drivers/ide/ide-tape.c:2613: warning: ignoring return value of `copy_from_user', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
drivers/ide/ide-tape.c: In function `idetape_copy_stage_to_user':
drivers/ide/ide-tape.c:2640: warning: ignoring return value of `copy_to_user', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
