From d081107867b85cc7454b9d4f5aea47f65bcf06d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:35:23 -0700 Subject: mm/gup.c: document return value __get_user_pages_fast handles errors differently from get_user_pages_fast: the former always returns the number of pages pinned, the later might return a negative error code.
