4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit 566e1ce22e04426fa52328b2adcdf1df49acd98e upstream. We now get a helpful warning for code that calls copy_{from,to}_iter without checking the return value, introduced by commit aa28de275a24 ("iov_iter/hardening: move object size checks to inlined part"). drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c: In function 'kiblnd_send': drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c:1643:2: error: ignoring return value of 'copy_from_iter', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c: In function 'kiblnd_recv': drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c:1744:3: error: ignoring return value of 'copy_to_iter', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] In case we get short copies here, we may get incorrect behavior. I've added failure handling for both rx and tx now, returning -EFAULT as expected.
