powerpc/powernv: Fix reading of OPAL msglog memory_return_from_buffer returns a signed value, so ret should be ssize_t. Fixes the following issue reported by David Binderman: [linux-3.15/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-msglog.c:65]: (style) Checking if unsigned variable 'ret' is less than zero. [linux-3.15/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-msglog.c:82]: (style) Checking if unsigned variable 'ret' is less than zero. Local variable "ret" is of type size_t. This is always unsigned, so it is pointless to check if it is less than zero. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77551 Fixing this exposes a real bug for the case where the entire count bytes is successfully read from the POS_WRAP case. The second memory_read_from_buffer will return EINVAL, causing the entire read to return EINVAL to userspace, despite the data being copied correctly. The fix is to test for the case where the data has been read and return early. Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
