Revision 1b92ee3d03af6643df395300ba7748f19ecdb0c5 authored by Rainer Weikusat on 08 February 2016, 18:47:19 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 16 February 2016, 17:48:04 UTC
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.
