The function hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns the number of pages added
to the reservation map on success and a negative error code on failure
(e.g. -EINVAL, -ENOMEM). However, in some error paths, it may return -1
directly.
For example, a failure at:
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
results in returning -1 (since add = -1), which may be misinterpreted
in userspace as -EPERM.
Fix this by explicitly capturing and propagating the return values from
helper functions, and using -EINVAL for all other failure cases.

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 reStructuredText 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.
