mm/migrate.c: also overwrite error when it is bigger than zero
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If we get here after successfully adding page to list, err would be 1 to
indicate the page is queued in the list.

Current code has two problems:

  * on success, 0 is not returned
  * on error, if add_page_for_migratioin() return 1, and the following err1
    from do_move_pages_to_node() is set, the err1 is not returned since err
    is 1

And these behaviors break the user interface.

Fixes: e0153fc ("mm: move_pages: return valid node id in status if the page is already on the target node").
