[PATCH] mm/gup.c: Handle error at earliest for incorrect nr_pages value

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

 



As per documentation, pin_user_pages_fast() & get_user_pages_fast()
will return 0, if nr_pages <= 0. But this can be figure out only after
going inside the internal_get_user_pages_fast().

This can be handled early. Adding a check for the same.
