[PATCH 1/1] Fix: vmw_vmci driver get_user_pages_fast error handling

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Tue Oct 31 2017 - 19:01:32 EST


Comparing a signed return value against an unsigned num_pages
field performs the comparison as "unsigned", and therefore mistakenly
considers get_user_pages_fast() errors as success.
