[PATCH v12 3/6] mm/hwpoison: return -EFAULT when copy fail in copy_mc_[user]_highpage()

From: Tong Tiangen
Date: Tue May 28 2024 - 05:00:13 EST


If hardware errors are encountered during page copying, returning the bytes
not copied is not meaningful, and the caller cannot do any processing on
the remaining data. Returning -EFAULT is more reasonable, which represents
a hardware error encountered during the copying.
