Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 03/43] vmci: type promotion bug in
 qp_host_get_user_memory()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 7fb2fd4e25fc1fb10dcb30b5519de257cfeae84c ]

The problem is that if get_user_pages_fast() fails and returns a
negative error code, it gets type promoted to a high positive value and
treated as a success.

Fixes: 06164d2b72aa ("VMCI: queue pairs implementation.")
