[ Upstream commite946d3c887] The problem is the mismatched types between "ctx->total_len" which is an unsigned int, "rc" which is an int, and "ctx->rc" which is a ssize_t. The code does: ctx->rc = (rc == 0) ? ctx->total_len : rc; We want "ctx->rc" to store the negative "rc" error code. But what happens is that "rc" is type promoted to a high unsigned int and 'ctx->rc" will store the high positive value instead of a negative value. The fix is to change "rc" from an int to a ssize_t.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
