Commitdf06b37ffe("mm/gup: cache dev_pagemap while pinning pages") attempted to operate on each page that get_user_pages had retrieved. In order to do that, it created a common exit point from the routine. However, one case was missed, which this patch fixes up. Also, there was still an unnecessary shadow declaration (with a different type) of the "ret" variable, which this patch removes. Keith's description of the situation is: This also fixes a potentially leaked dev_pagemap reference count if a failure occurs when an iteration crosses a vma boundary. I don't think it's normal to have different vma's on a users mapped zone device memory, but good to fix anyway. I actually thought that this code: /* first iteration or cross vma bound */ if (!vma || start >= vma->vm_end) { vma = find_extend_vma(mm, start); if (!vma && in_gate_area(mm, start)) { ret = get_gate_page(mm, start & PAGE_MASK, gup_flags, &vma, pages ? &pages[i] : NULL); if (ret) goto out; dealt with the "you're trying to pin the gate page, as part of this call", rather than the generic case of crossing a vma boundary. (I think there's a fine point that I must be overlooking.) But it's still a valid case, either way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
