libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value
Colin, via static analysis, reports that the length could be negative from nvdimm_clear_poison() in the error case. There was a similar problem with commit 0a3f27b9a6a8 "libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations" that I noticed when merging the for-4.10/libnvdimm topic branch into libnvdimm-for-next, but I missed this one. Fix both of them to the following procedure: * if we clear a block's worth of media, clear that many blocks in badblocks * if we clear less than the requested size of the transfer return an error * always invalidate cache after any non-error / non-zero nvdimm_clear_poison result Fixes: 82bf1037f2ca ("libnvdimm: check and clear poison before writing to pmem") Fixes: 0a3f27b9a6a8 ("libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations") Cc: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Reported-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
