[PATCH 1/6] mm: always return EBUSY for invalid ranges in hmm_range_{fault,snapshot}

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We should not have two different error codes for the same condition.  In
addition this really complicates the code due to the special handling of
EAGAIN that drops the mmap_sem due to the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY logic
in the core vm.
