If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yann Droneaud commit 08e74c4b00c30c232d535ff368554959403d0432 upstream. In case of error when writing to userspace, the function mthca_create_cq() does not set an error code before following its error path. This patch sets the error code to -EFAULT when ib_copy_to_udata() fails. This was caught when using spatch (aka. coccinelle) to rewrite call to ib_copy_{from,to}_udata().
