From 991721572ef2140c6411894aebefd3377e71a9e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:02:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix missing ret assignment in __bio_map_user() error path If get_user_pages() returns less pages than what we asked for, we jump to out_unmap which will return ERR_PTR(ret). But ret can contain a positive number just smaller than local_nr_pages, so be sure to set it to -EFAULT always.
