commit 5afe6ce748c1ea99e0d648153c05075e1ab93afb upstream. If scrub returns an error we are not copying back the scrub arguments structure to user space. This prevents user space to know how much progress scrub has done if an error happened - this includes -ECANCELED which is returned when users ask for scrub to stop. A particular use case, which is used in btrfs-progs, is to resume scrub after it is canceled, in that case it relies on checking the progress from the scrub arguments structure and then use that progress in a call to resume scrub. So fix this by always copying the scrub arguments structure to user space, overwriting the value returned to user space with -EFAULT only if copying the structure failed to let user space know that either that copying did not happen, and therefore the structure is stale, or it happened partially and the structure is probably not valid and corrupt due to the partial copy.

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.
