You're returning "true" and another implicit boolean with (val == 0)
down below but -EFAULT in other places. But that function is
int is_zeroed_user()
Would probably be good if you either switch to
bool is_zeroed_user()
as the name suggests or rename the function and have it return an int
everywhere.
