From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 37941ea17d3f8eb2f5ac2f59346fab9e8439271a upstream. While it's not friendly to fail user processes that issue more iovs than we support, at least we should return the correct error code so the user process gets a chance to retry with smaller number of iovs. Signed-off-by: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/cifs/smbdirect.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/cifs/smbdirect.c +++ b/fs/cifs/smbdirect.c @@ -1069,7 +1069,7 @@ static int smbd_post_send_data( if (n_vec > SMBDIRECT_MAX_SGE) { cifs_dbg(VFS, "Can't fit data to SGL, n_vec=%d\n", n_vec); - return -ENOMEM; + return -EINVAL; } sg_init_table(sgl, n_vec);
