[PATCH 7/7] lib/iov_iter: add missing should_fail_usercopy() in copy_to_user_iter_mc()

From: Josh Law

Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 14:13:30 EST


When running fault injection tests (CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY)
against DAX/pmem read paths, the machine-check variant
copy_to_user_iter_mc() is not covered because it skips the
should_fail_usercopy() check that the normal copy_to_user_iter() has.

This means the dax_copy_to_iter() code path used for pmem reads cannot
be exercised by the usercopy fault injector, leaving a gap in test
coverage for a path that has its own distinct error handling (it must
not retry on #MC).

Found by auditing all copy_to_user/copy_from_user helper variants in
the file for consistent use of the fault injection hook and noticing
copy_to_user_iter_mc() was the only one without it.

Add the same should_fail_usercopy() check that copy_to_user_iter() has.
