[PATCH V3] mm/madvise: Move up the behavior parameter validation

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Tue Apr 18 2017 - 01:30:32 EST


The madvise_behavior_valid() function should be called before
acting upon the behavior parameter. Hence move up the function.
This also includes MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON options
as valid behavior parameter for the system call madvise().

Changes in V3:

Moved the madvise_inject_error() function down which will make
sure that the boundary conditions are checked for address and
length arguments as per Naoya.

Changes in V2:

Added CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE check before using MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE
and MADV_HWPOISONE constants.
