Subject: [PATCH] net/9p: Handle error in zero copy request correctly for 9p2000.u

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

For zero copy request, error will be encoded in the user space buffer.
So copy the error code correctly using copy_from_user. Here we use the
extra bytes we allocate for zero copy request. If total error details
are more than P9_ZC_HDR_SZ - 7 bytes, we return -EFAULT. The patch also
avoid a memory allocation in the error path.
