------------------

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

commit c61611f70958d86f659bca25c02ae69413747a8d upstream.

get_user_pages_fast is supposed to be a faster drop-in equivalent of
get_user_pages.  As such, callers expect it to return a negative return
code when passed an invalid address, and never expect it to return 0
when passed a positive number of pages, since its documentation says:

 * Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number
 * requested. If nr_pages is 0 or negative, returns 0. If no pages
 * were pinned, returns -errno.

When get_user_pages_fast fall back on get_user_pages this is exactly
what happens.  Unfortunately the implementation is inconsistent: it
returns 0 if passed a kernel address, confusing callers: for example,
the following is pretty common but does not appear to do the right thing
with a kernel address:

        ret = get_user_pages_fast(addr, 1, writeable, &page);
        if (ret < 0)
                return ret;

Change get_user_pages_fast to return -EFAULT when supplied a kernel
address to make it match expectations.

All callers have been audited for consistency with the documented
semantics.
