Yes, We should copy the status of movement/defragmentation back to user
only if this procedure has been issued although it may be only partially
completed.

I personally would suggest to do a bit code adjustment for this function
combine your current fix if you like, the related comments are inline.

Just return if argv is invalid, i.e. NULL.
	if (!argv)
		return -EINVAL;

With above pre-checking up against 'argv', we can kill the following conditional code
block and try to copy the input range directly.
	if (copy_from_user(&range, ...)) {
		....
	}

So with the beginning pre-checkup, we don't need to verify argp again that the
original code does.
-       if (argp) {
-               if (copy_to_user(argp, &range, sizeof(range)))
-                       status = -EFAULT;
-       }
+       if (copy_to_user(argp, &range, sizeof(range)))
+               status = -EFAULT;
