3.16.51-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 092c3def24bb68a00ff58c76ed67b9ff448387ce upstream.
The copy_from_user() function returns the number of bytes which we
weren't able to copy. We don't want to return that to the user but
instead we want to return -EFAULT.
Fixes: d7e09d0397e8 ("staging: add Lustre file system client support")
