From 69e0927b3774563c19b5fb32e91d75edc147fb62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Gilbert Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2018 17:00:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] blk_rq_map_user_iov: fix error override During stress tests by syzkaller on the sg driver the block layer infrequently returns EINVAL. Closer inspection shows the block layer was trying to return ENOMEM (which is much more understandable) but for some reason overroad that useful error. Patch below does not show this (unchanged) line: ret =__blk_rq_map_user_iov(rq, map_data, &i, gfp_mask, copy); That 'ret' was being overridden when that function failed.
