Hi, 

Seeing this warning :

fs/cifs/cifssmb.c:902: warning: ignoring return value of `copy_from_user', declared with attribute warn_unused_result

lead to the following patch.

The patch adds a check of the copy_from_user return value and returns 
-EFAULT if the call fails. In addition to that I did some 
formatting/whitespace changes - the code uses primarily tabs for 
indentation, but this little bit used spaces, so I changed that to tabs; I 
also added a few curly braces {} for a few if statements, in the same 
area, that seemed to be becomming quite hard to read without.

Patch has been compile tested, but I have no real way to test it properly 
beyond that. 
I hope the patch is acceptable and mergable :)

Btw, I'm only subscribed to LKML, so please keep me on CC.
