Make the mincore(2) return ENOMEM when requested range is not fully mapped.
Is this change to be posix compliant or something? ENOMEM seems like
the wrong error, or are we allocating memory?
#define ENOMEM 12 /* Cannot allocate memory */
the original EINVAL seems to me the correct one, as is commonly used
when the data passed in is incorrect...
I looked at this when the patch was proposed. ENOMEM is the de facto
standard error for this case. To the best of my knowledge, there is no
officially-sanctioned specification for mincore(2).
