A test case was reported where two linked reads with registered buffers failed the second link always. This is because we set the expected value of a request in req->result, and if we don't get this result, then we fail the dependent links. For some reason the registered buffer import returned -ERROR/0, while the normal import returns -ERROR/length. This broke linked commands with registered buffers. Fix this by making io_import_fixed() correctly return the mapped length. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.3 Reported-by: 李通洲 <carter.li@eoitek.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
