[ Upstream commit 81f8f7454ad9e0bf95efdec6542afdc9a6ab1e24 ]
Currently, the IB uverbs API calls uobj_get_uobj_read(), which in turn
uses the rdma_lookup_get_uobject() helper to retrieve user objects.
In case of failure, uobj_get_uobj_read() returns NULL, overriding the
error code from rdma_lookup_get_uobject(). The IB uverbs API then
translates this NULL to -EINVAL, masking the actual error and
complicating debugging. For example, applications calling ibv_modify_qp
that fails with EBUSY when retrieving the QP uobject will see the
overridden error code EINVAL instead, masking the actual error.
Furthermore, based on rdma-core commit:
"2a22f1ced5f3 ("Merge pull request #1568 from jakemoroni/master")"
Kernel's IB uverbs return values are either ignored and passed on as is
to application or overridden with other errnos in a few cases.
Thus, to improve error reporting and debuggability, propagate the
original error from rdma_lookup_get_uobject() instead of replacing it
with EINVAL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
