Hi Andrew,

While going through my patches currently in -mm I noticed a problem.
I have to hang my head i shame and admit to introducing a bug in what should 
have been a bugFIX patch :-(

In the 
isdn-unsafe-interaction-between-isdn_write-and-isdn_writebuf_stub.patch 
patch, which is currently in -mm there's a bug.

This bit :
 -       copy_from_user(skb_put(skb, len), buf, len);
 +       if (!copy_from_user(skb_put(skb, len), buf, len))
should really be :
 -       copy_from_user(skb_put(skb, len), buf, len);
 +       if (copy_from_user(skb_put(skb, len), buf, len))
Somehow a stray "!" crept in there.

Sorry about that. Here's a tiny fix-it-up patch to be applied on top :
