Michael S. Tsirkin 09e35a4a1c mm/gup_benchmark: handle gup failures
Patch series "mm/get_user_pages_fast fixes, cleanups", v2.

Turns out get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast return different
values on error when given a single page: __get_user_pages_fast returns
0.  get_user_pages_fast returns either 0 or an error.

Callers of get_user_pages_fast expect an error so fix it up to return an
error consistently.

Stress the difference between get_user_pages_fast and
__get_user_pages_fast to make sure callers aren't confused.

This patch (of 3):

__gup_benchmark_ioctl does not handle the case where get_user_pages_fast
fails:

 - a negative return code will cause a buffer overrun

 - returning with partial success will cause use of uninitialized
   memory.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
