Subject: mips/kvm: fix ioctl error handling
From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0178fd7dcc4451fcb90bec5e91226586962478d2 upstream.
Returning directly whatever copy_to_user(...) or copy_from_user(...)
returns may not do the right thing if there's a pagefault:
copy_to_user/copy_from_user return the number of bytes not copied in
this case, but ioctls need to return -EFAULT instead.
Fix up kvm on mips to do
return copy_to_user(...)) ? -EFAULT : 0;
and
return copy_from_user(...)) ? -EFAULT : 0;
everywhere.
