[PATCHv2] ivtv-yuv.c: handle get_user_pages() -errno returns
From: Paul Cassella <fortytwo-ivtv@manetheren.bigw.org>

get_user_pages() may return -errno, such as -EFAULT. So don't blindly use
its return value as an offset into dma->map[] for the next get_user_pages()
call. Since we'll give up and return an error if either fails, don't even
make the second call if the first failed to give us exactly what we were
looking for.

The old code would also call put_page() on as many elements of dma->map[]
as we'd asked for, regardless of how many were valid.

I'm running with this on 2.6.37, though haven't triggered either
condition. This patch is against staging/for_v2.6.39, which compiles
cleanly with it.

I'm not sure -EINVAL is the best return code vs -EFAULT or -ENOMEM, but
this mod doesn't change it except when one of the get_user_pages() calls
actually returned a -errno.

Thanks for the review!

OK. This one's queued up too:

http://git.linuxtv.org/awalls/media_tree.git?a=commitdiff;h=23c4e3bb2a53a9a75cbbeb564a791d80c722b8db

I changed the return code to -EFAULT as this return code bubbles up as a
return code for write(). The V4L2 API spec indicates that -EINVAL was,
as you observed, just wrong for this situation:
