Subject: Fix: lib_ring_buffer_copy_from_user_inatomic error handling
X-Git-Tag: v2.9.0-rc1~85
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d87a9f0376535ea0ab125f2f0cfc6ce6e325c0c1;p=lttng-modules.git

Fix: lib_ring_buffer_copy_from_user_inatomic error handling

It should treat nonzero return value of
lib_ring_buffer_do_copy_from_user_inatomic() as errors, 0 as success.

It is currently unused by the instrumentation.
