[PATCH 3.2 20/62] af_unix: Don't set err in unix_stream_read_generic unless there was an error

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Mar 29 2016 - 16:10:37 EST


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.
