As suggested by Dan Carpenter, fortify unpin_user_pages() just a bit, against a typical caller mistake: check if the npages arg is really a -ERRNO value, which would blow up the unpinning loop: WARN and return. If this new WARN_ON() fires, then the system *might* be leaking pages (by leaving them pinned), but probably not. More likely, gup/pup returned a hard -ERRNO error to the caller, who erroneously passed it here.

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.
