Requests to the mmc layer usually come through a block device IO.
The exceptions are the ioctl interface, RPMB chardev ioctl
and debugfs, which issue their own blk_mq requests through
blk_execute_rq and do not query the BLK_STS error but the
mmcblk-internal drv_op_result. This patch ensures that drv_op_result
defaults to an error and has to be overwritten by the operation
to be considered successful.
The behavior leads to a bug where the request never propagates
the error, e.g. by directly erroring out at mmc_blk_mq_issue_rq if
mmc_blk_part_switch fails. The ioctl caller of the rpmb chardev then
can never see an error (BLK_STS_IOERR, but drv_op_result is unchanged)
and thus may assume that their call executed successfully when it did not.
While always checking the blk_execute_rq return value would be
advised, let's eliminate the error by always setting
drv_op_result as -EIO to be overwritten on success (or other error)

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.
