Subject: mm/mprotect: fix do_mprotect_pkey() return on error
Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2023 15:30:50 -0400
When the loop over the VMA is terminated early due to an error, the return
code could be overwritten with ENOMEM. Fix the return code by only
setting the error on early loop termination when the error is not set.
User-visible effects include: attempts to run mprotect() against a special
mapping or with a poorly-aligned hugetlb address should return -EINVAL,
but they presently return -ENOMEM.
