mm/gup_benchmark: handle gup failures
Patch series "mm/get_user_pages_fast fixes, cleanups", v2.
Turns out get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast return different
values on error when given a single page: __get_user_pages_fast returns
0. get_user_pages_fast returns either 0 or an error.
Callers of get_user_pages_fast expect an error so fix it up to return an
error consistently.
Stress the difference between get_user_pages_fast and
__get_user_pages_fast to make sure callers aren't confused.
This patch (of 3):
__gup_benchmark_ioctl does not handle the case where get_user_pages_fast
fails:
- a negative return code will cause a buffer overrun
- returning with partial success will cause use of uninitialized
memory.
