Subject: [PATCH] fix double fetch in wmi_ioctl.
Date: Wed, 8 May 2019 16:23:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190508082319.GA8817@hjy-HP-Notebook> (raw)

There is a double fetch problem in function wmi_ioctl.
After second fetch overwrite the length to avoid this.
buf->length is not used now,but it may in the future.
It is good to get it fixed up.
