Originally this code rejected any read less than 256 bytes. There is no need for this artificial limit. We should just use the normal helper functions to read a string from the kernel. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Use simple_read_from_buffer(). The v1 was slightly half arsed because I left the original check for: if (*pos) return 0; So it could result in partial reads. The new code means that if you want to read the buffer one byte at a time, that's fine or if you want to read it in one 256 byte chunk that's also fine. Plus it deletes 21 lines of code and is a lot cleaner. drivers/crypto/hisilicon/qm.c | 33 ++++++--------------------------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/crypto/hisilicon/qm.c b/drivers/crypto/hisilicon/qm.c index 9bb263cec6c30..13ccb9e29a2e1 100644 --- a/drivers/crypto/hisilicon/qm.c +++ b/drivers/crypto/hisilicon/qm.c @@ -1064,19 +1064,10 @@ static ssize_t qm_cmd_read(struct file *filp, char __user *buffer, char buf[QM_DBG_READ_LEN]; int len; - if (*pos) - return 0; - - if (count < QM_DBG_READ_LEN) - return -ENOSPC; + len = scnprintf(buf, QM_DBG_READ_LEN, "%s\n", + "Please echo help to cmd to get help information"); - len = snprintf(buf, QM_DBG_READ_LEN, "%s\n", - "Please echo help to cmd to get help information"); - - if (copy_to_user(buffer, buf, len)) - return -EFAULT; - - return (*pos = len); + return simple_read_from_buffer(buffer, count, pos, buf, len); } static void *qm_ctx_alloc(struct hisi_qm *qm, size_t ctx_size, @@ -2691,24 +2682,12 @@ static ssize_t qm_status_read(struct file *filp, char __user *buffer, { struct hisi_qm *qm = filp->private_data; char buf[QM_DBG_READ_LEN]; - int val, cp_len, len; - - if (*pos) - return 0; - - if (count < QM_DBG_READ_LEN) - return -ENOSPC; + int val, len; val = atomic_read(&qm->status.flags); - len = snprintf(buf, QM_DBG_READ_LEN, "%s\n", qm_s[val]); - if (!len) - return -EFAULT; - - cp_len = copy_to_user(buffer, buf, len); - if (cp_len) - return -EFAULT; + len = scnprintf(buf, QM_DBG_READ_LEN, "%s\n", qm_s[val]); - return (*pos = len); + return simple_read_from_buffer(buffer, count, pos, buf, len); } static const struct file_operations qm_status_fops = { -- 2.26.2
