[PATCH 0/7] KVM: Standardize on "int" return types instead of "long"

[Thomas Huth]

This patch series is a follow-up from one of my patches in 2022 and
Sean's reply here:

 https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/YpZu6%2Fk+8EydfBKf@google.com/

KVM functions use "long" return values for functions that are wired up
to "struct file_operations", but otherwise use "int" return values for
functions that can return 0/-errno in order to avoid unintentional
divergences between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. Some related functions
that are not part of a "struct file_operations" still use "long", though,
which can cause confusion or even subtle problems (see second patch).
Thus let's standardize on using "int" for return values in these functions
to avoid such problems in the future.
