[ Upstream commit 2e2c177ca84aff092c3c96714b0f6a12900f3946 ] In slave_update() of vmaster code ignores the error from the slave get() callback and copies the values. It's not only about the missing error code but also that this may potentially lead to a leak of uninitialized variables when the slave get() don't clear them. This patch fixes slave_update() not to copy the potentially uninitialized values when an error is returned from the slave get() callback, and to propagate the error value properly.

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.
