3.2.79-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rainer Weikusat <rweikusat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1b92ee3d03af6643df395300ba7748f19ecdb0c5 upstream. The present unix_stream_read_generic contains various code sequences of the form err = -EDISASTER; if (<test>) goto out; This has the unfortunate side effect of possibly causing the error code to bleed through to the final out: return copied ? : err; and then to be wrongly returned if no data was copied because the caller didn't supply a data buffer, as demonstrated by the program available at http://pad.lv/1540731 Change it such that err is only set if an error condition was detected.
