Subject: [PATCH] mm/memfd_luo: report error when restoring a folio fails mid-loop
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 06:23:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415052300.362539-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

memfd_luo_retrieve_folios() initialises err to -EIO, but the per-iteration
calls to mem_cgroup_charge(), shmem_add_to_page_cache() and
shmem_inode_acct_blocks() reuse and overwrite err.  Once any iteration
completes successfully, err becomes zero.

If a later iteration's kho_restore_folio() returns NULL, the failure path
jumps to put_folios without resetting err, so the function returns 0.
The caller memfd_luo_retrieve() then takes the success path, sets
args->file and reports the restore as successful, leaving userspace with
a partially populated memfd and no indication that anything went wrong.

Set err to -EIO in the kho_restore_folio() failure branch so the error
is propagated to the caller.
