[PATCH 2/3] vhost-net: fix to check the return value of copy_to/from_user() correctly

From: Takuya Yoshikawa <hidden>
Date: 2010-05-27 10:01:35
Also in: kvm, virtualization
Subsystem: the rest, virtio host (vhost) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied.

So we need to check if it is not zero, and in that case, we should return
the error number -EFAULT rather than directly return the return value from
copy_to/from_user().
