Subject[PATCH] iov_iter: Fix iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc} page fault return value
Date
Both iov_iter_get_pages and iov_iter_get_pages_alloc return the number of bytes
of the iovec they could get the pages for. When they cannot get any pages,
they're supposed to return 0, but when the start of the iovec isn't page
aligned, the calculation goes wrong and they return a negative value.
Fix that in both functions.

In addition, change iov_iter_get_pages_alloc to return ZERO_SIZE_PTR in that
case to prevent resource leaks.

It seems that the cifs and nfs filesystems don't handle the zero case very
well. Steve, Trond, Anna, could you please have a look?
