Alex Williamson 80dbe1fbaf vfio/type1: Prune vfio_pin_page_external()
With vfio_lock_acct() testing the locked memory limit under mmap_sem,
it's redundant to do it here for a single page.  We can also reorder
our tests such that we can avoid testing for reserved pages if we're
not doing accounting and let vfio_lock_acct() test the process
CAP_IPC_LOCK.  Finally, this function oddly returns 1 on success.
Update to return zero on success, -errno on error.  Since the function
only pins a single page, there's no need to return the number of pages
pinned.

N.B. vfio_pin_pages_remote() can pin a large contiguous range of pages
before calling vfio_lock_acct().  If we were to similarly remove the
extra test there, a user could temporarily pin far more pages than
they're allowed.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
