commita562d6dc86upstream. vb2_read() and vb2_write() return size_t, but propagate negative errno values from __vb2_perform_fileio(). This relies on implicit signed/unsigned conversions in callers (e.g. vb2_fop_read()) to recover error codes: __vb2_perform_fileio() -> -EINVAL vb2_read() -> (size_t)-EINVAL vb2_fop_read() -> -EINVAL This relies on implicit conversions that are not obvious. These helpers are exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) and part of the vb2 API, so changing their return type may affect existing users. However, they conceptually follow read/write semantics, where ssize_t is typically used to return either a byte count or a negative error code. Switch vb2_read() and vb2_write() to ssize_t, and update __vb2_perform_fileio() accordingly.

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.
