With vfio_lock_acct() testing the locked memory limit under mmap_sem, it's redundant to do it here for a single page. We can also reorder our tests such that we can avoid testing for reserved pages if we're not doing accounting and let vfio_lock_acct() test the process CAP_IPC_LOCK. Finally, this function oddly returns 1 on success. Update to return zero on success, -errno on error. Since the function only pins a single page, there's no need to return the number of pages pinned. N.B. vfio_pin_pages_remote() can pin a large contiguous range of pages before calling vfio_lock_acct(). If we were to similarly remove the extra test there, a user could temporarily pin far more pages than they're allowed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
