Subject: [PATCH 4.15 48/53] mm/gup_benchmark: handle gup failures

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@...hat.com>

commit 09e35a4a1ca8b9988ca9b8557d17948cd6c0808b upstream.

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.
