4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b5b38200ebe54879a7264cb6f33821f61c586a7e upstream.
Successes in probe_kernel_read() would mask failures in copy_to_user()
during read_mem().
Reported-by: Brad Spengler <spender@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: 22ec1a2aea73 ("/dev/mem: Add bounce buffer for copy-out")
