Michal Hocko 2d3a36a479 mm, mempolicy: fix up gup usage in lookup_node
ba841078cd ("mm/mempolicy: Allow lookup_node() to handle fatal signal")
has added a special casing for 0 return value because that was a possible
gup return value when interrupted by fatal signal.  This has been fixed by
ae46d2aa6a ("mm/gup: Let __get_user_pages_locked() return -EINTR for
fatal signal") in the mean time so ba841078cd can be reverted.

This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check
for 0 is wrong and confusing here.  Firstly it is inherently unsafe to
access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page
returned).

Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not
return 0 when nr_pages > 0 unless FOLL_NOWAIT is specified which is not
the case here.  Document this potential error code in gup code while we
are at it.

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.
