From 9ea2b82ed6265a31f9a84886d74d8a2ef01b27c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:35:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: cpuid: correct return value on partial operations Return the correct return value when the CPUID driver partially completes a request (we should return the number of bytes actually read or written, instead of the error code.)
