Subject: [PATCH] binfmt_elf_fdpic: Fix clear_user() error handling
From: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@....ntt.co.jp>
clear_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied rather than
an error code. So we should return -EFAULT rather than directly returning the
results.
Without this patch, positive values may be returned to elf_fdpic_map_file()
and the following error handlings do not function as expected.
1.
ret = elf_fdpic_map_file_constdisp_on_uclinux(params, file, mm);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
2.
ret = elf_fdpic_map_file_by_direct_mmap(params, file, mm);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
