if (len == 0)
	...

[And also other places.]

We don't use Yoda condition style in the kernel.

This looks buggy.

If copy_to_user() fails from within memcpy_toiovec(), we call memset()
with a negative return value which is interpreted as size_t and thus
causes a buffer overflow writing beyond ctx->result, no?

If it succeeds, we call memset(ctx->result, 0, 0) .....

memset(ctx->result, 0, sizeof(ctx->result));
